21
00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:15,640
Speaker 2: morning as we cover the news of the week. We

22
00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:19,840
Speaker 2: were talking fraud last hour, the latest revelations from Jim

23
00:01:19,880 --> 00:01:23,400
Speaker 2: Nobles and again things that we were aware of, but

24
00:01:23,440 --> 00:01:26,160
Speaker 2: now we have more background on in terms of the

25
00:01:26,200 --> 00:01:29,760
Speaker 2: inner workings and why you know this fraud wasn't brought

26
00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:32,640
Speaker 2: to everybody's attention ahead of time. And I'll just I

27
00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:34,039
Speaker 2: want to repeat the point and then we'll move on

28
00:01:34,080 --> 00:01:36,160
Speaker 2: to another issue on this and if anybody else wants

29
00:01:36,160 --> 00:01:38,440
Speaker 2: to add anything to the commentary before we get on

30
00:01:38,520 --> 00:01:42,039
Speaker 2: to the next fraudulent story that we have.

31
00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:44,480
Speaker 4: Well, I just wanted to say, like for the listeners

32
00:01:45,240 --> 00:01:47,400
Speaker 4: I said a last segment, and I think it's important

33
00:01:47,560 --> 00:01:51,640
Speaker 4: for you to know Jim Nobles was a universally respected

34
00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:57,240
Speaker 4: legislative auditor. Truly in an era of partisanship politics, politics

35
00:01:57,320 --> 00:01:59,600
Speaker 4: influences everything, he was truly a guy down at the

36
00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:03,000
Speaker 4: capitol who just called balls and strikes, who gave you

37
00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:05,280
Speaker 4: the numbers, who gave you the information.

38
00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:07,360
Speaker 1: And let you do with it what you will.

39
00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:09,720
Speaker 4: So again, for him to write an op edge or

40
00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:13,480
Speaker 4: that is this targeted and this straightforward about whose fault

41
00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:17,680
Speaker 4: it is that the fraud has occurred, it should send

42
00:02:17,720 --> 00:02:19,400
Speaker 4: shockwaves frankly throughout the state.

43
00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:22,200
Speaker 1: And the part of it that really gets to me

44
00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:25,000
Speaker 1: they knew and they let it happen is.

45
00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:28,920
Speaker 2: Again, if that hadn't happened, if you had the venchair

46
00:02:29,080 --> 00:02:33,080
Speaker 2: of the House Human Services given the report by the

47
00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:36,680
Speaker 2: Office of Legislative Auditor, and instead of saying there's always

48
00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:38,760
Speaker 2: going to be fraud and taking it and not taking

49
00:02:38,760 --> 00:02:43,360
Speaker 2: it seriously, actually took it seriously. If there wasn't this

50
00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:47,280
Speaker 2: concern that you're going to upset, say the Somali community

51
00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:50,280
Speaker 2: and a base group of Democrat voters, you could to

52
00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:54,280
Speaker 2: stop this from the start and also probably figured out

53
00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:57,720
Speaker 2: that the majority of these programs weren't even necessary because

54
00:02:57,720 --> 00:03:01,240
Speaker 2: there wasn't a need, a demand and desire for it.

55
00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:04,320
Speaker 2: And and this gets into the other big concern. And

56
00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:06,600
Speaker 2: Max and I were talking about this off the air,

57
00:03:06,639 --> 00:03:08,560
Speaker 2: and we might get to it later on in the hour.

58
00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:12,160
Speaker 2: But of course the pending paid Family Sickly for which

59
00:03:12,440 --> 00:03:14,560
Speaker 2: paid family Medical Lead, which I don't think. Yeah, the

60
00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:18,240
Speaker 2: paid Family Medical League, which I don't think. It's obviously

61
00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:20,880
Speaker 2: getting attention, and there's concern, but it's a much much

62
00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:23,720
Speaker 2: bigger concern that I think even most people are realizing

63
00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:24,760
Speaker 2: that this at this point is.

64
00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:27,560
Speaker 4: Doing Adam Baum to our small businesses.

65
00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:30,400
Speaker 2: So's one question. Then we'll get to this next fraud

66
00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:33,120
Speaker 2: item of everybody. And I've asked this question before, but

67
00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:36,080
Speaker 2: since we have another example here, you know, Max, You've

68
00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:39,120
Speaker 2: mentioned several times Jim Nobles being a straight up guy.

69
00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:40,840
Speaker 2: I mean just yeah, so, you know, calls it as

70
00:03:40,880 --> 00:03:45,000
Speaker 2: he as he sees it. You have further coverage now

71
00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:48,040
Speaker 2: of fraud taking place. You have a jockeying of local

72
00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:53,160
Speaker 2: media outlets that are moving forward on their own fraud investigations.

73
00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:55,360
Speaker 2: He had Channel five had a forty five minute, you

74
00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:59,080
Speaker 2: know piece this week. And this all stems from, you know,

75
00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:01,400
Speaker 2: the reports that were an American experiment and all the

76
00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:04,440
Speaker 2: great reporting at Alpha News. And I'm convinced that none

77
00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:06,800
Speaker 2: of these documentaries would even be taking place if it

78
00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:09,640
Speaker 2: hadn't been for Liz Colin her book and the fall

79
00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:12,240
Speaker 2: of Minneapolis that none of them wanted to talk about,

80
00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:15,480
Speaker 2: but they all saw the attention that it got. Is

81
00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:18,040
Speaker 2: this going to have an impact on this on this

82
00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:21,400
Speaker 2: governor's race moving forward? And Grace, I'll start with you,

83
00:04:21,440 --> 00:04:24,080
Speaker 2: what do you think is this going to you think

84
00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:26,200
Speaker 2: it's gonna hurt walls or do we have to kind

85
00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:28,320
Speaker 2: of wait to see you know, what the reaction is

86
00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:28,760
Speaker 2: to all this?

87
00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:29,720
Speaker 1: Absolutely?

88
00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:30,400
Speaker 5: Are you kidding?

89
00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:33,200
Speaker 6: We just pulled this issue actually for the next issue

90
00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:35,359
Speaker 6: of Thinking Minnesota magazine, which comes out in just a

91
00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:37,120
Speaker 6: couple of weeks. Make sure you're on the list. Everyone,

92
00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:40,640
Speaker 6: But we pulled this issue and not only do like

93
00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:44,200
Speaker 6: a vast majority of Minnesotan's they're aware of the fraud,

94
00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:47,120
Speaker 6: they're angry about the fraud, but more than that, they

95
00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:50,920
Speaker 6: connect the fraud to Tim Walls's administration. I think he's

96
00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:53,040
Speaker 6: a fool if he thinks he can just breeze, pass through,

97
00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:55,880
Speaker 6: bree through this election without fraud hurting him.

98
00:04:56,360 --> 00:04:56,560
Speaker 1: Yeah.

99
00:04:56,600 --> 00:05:00,120
Speaker 3: I think on to that point, he is very cogn

100
00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:03,960
Speaker 3: and aware that people are attaching his administration. But there's

101
00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:06,760
Speaker 3: one little key, and you said the right word administration.

102
00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:11,520
Speaker 3: He is still at this point separating himself from his

103
00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:14,960
Speaker 3: administration where he's like, yeah, the buck doesn't stop with

104
00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:17,920
Speaker 3: me and stops somewhere down the line, and he will

105
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:21,719
Speaker 3: throw every single person under the bus until he is

106
00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:25,599
Speaker 3: the last person standing. So it's incumbent upon Republicans to

107
00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:29,240
Speaker 3: make sure that we attach it not just to the administration,

108
00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:33,400
Speaker 3: but to Tim Walls himself, that the accountability has to

109
00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:36,120
Speaker 3: go up to him. And if you watch that interview

110
00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:39,920
Speaker 3: that KSTP did, he was like, yeah, we need to

111
00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:43,640
Speaker 3: throw the book at these fraudsters and we just there's

112
00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:46,880
Speaker 3: so much fraud and there's more fraud coming. Like he's

113
00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:50,520
Speaker 3: acting as though he hasn't been the governor since twenty eighteen.

114
00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:54,760
Speaker 3: But the question is will the average Minnesotan buy it?

115
00:05:55,520 --> 00:05:55,960
Speaker 1: Real quick?

116
00:05:56,040 --> 00:05:58,200
Speaker 2: Vic, you know, to that point, I'm kind of shocked

117
00:05:58,200 --> 00:06:00,839
Speaker 2: that Walls hasn't taken the stance of you know what, guys.

118
00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:03,159
Speaker 2: You know I would take responsibility, but I was running

119
00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:03,600
Speaker 2: for VP.

120
00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:10,320
Speaker 1: You know, I was trying to save this country.

121
00:06:10,760 --> 00:06:15,000
Speaker 2: As I was sauntering on stages across this great nation,

122
00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:17,200
Speaker 2: I just was completely unaware.

123
00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:19,440
Speaker 1: That part of it's on me. Everybody. I just wasn't around. Yeah,

124
00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:21,560
Speaker 1: my bad, guys, they are. I'm a knuckle when it

125
00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:25,520
Speaker 1: comes to fraud. Yeah, fraud is this grating issue.

126
00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:28,279
Speaker 4: I think Minnesotans have this high bar where they think

127
00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:30,800
Speaker 4: even if Tim Wall screws up, they're willing to give

128
00:06:30,880 --> 00:06:31,920
Speaker 4: him the benefit of the doubt.

129
00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:35,360
Speaker 1: You know, he's trying his hardest. We're doing our best.

130
00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:38,360
Speaker 4: But I think fraud, because we are becoming the lightning

131
00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:41,600
Speaker 4: rod for it is becoming this embarrassing issue that I'm

132
00:06:41,640 --> 00:06:45,120
Speaker 4: hoping resonates with your average everyday voters. And I'll just

133
00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:47,640
Speaker 4: say I don't mean to step on his touchdown and

134
00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:49,279
Speaker 4: call here if he's going to be on next week.

135
00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:52,520
Speaker 4: But Elliott ain't get My colleague came out and said

136
00:06:52,520 --> 00:06:54,560
Speaker 4: he was running for state auditor. I think he's got

137
00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:57,760
Speaker 4: an interesting idea to take that state auditor role from

138
00:06:57,800 --> 00:07:02,599
Speaker 4: like a municipal accountant, actually having that office be the

139
00:07:02,640 --> 00:07:07,120
Speaker 4: one that's an independent body that finds fraud within departments

140
00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:09,240
Speaker 4: and catches it and punishes it early on.

141
00:07:10,440 --> 00:07:11,600
Speaker 1: I think that's interesting.

142
00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:14,080
Speaker 4: You know, if we have more candidates who come out

143
00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:18,120
Speaker 4: with ideas like that, kind of reimagining the role itself.

144
00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:22,400
Speaker 4: I'm looking for solutions, and Democrats are not willing to

145
00:07:22,400 --> 00:07:25,360
Speaker 4: sign on to an inspector general, for instance, but we

146
00:07:25,480 --> 00:07:27,560
Speaker 4: have to have an office that is independent of the

147
00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:29,760
Speaker 4: governor that tackles these issues.

148
00:07:30,120 --> 00:07:32,920
Speaker 2: My biggest concern, and I'll just put I'll put a

149
00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:35,680
Speaker 2: period on this on this conversation relating to the Jim

150
00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:38,840
Speaker 2: Nobles piece, My biggest concern is just that with the

151
00:07:38,880 --> 00:07:41,960
Speaker 2: continued talk about fraud and now that it is being discussed,

152
00:07:42,320 --> 00:07:43,920
Speaker 2: is that it ends up just becoming white noise.

153
00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:45,880
Speaker 1: Yep. That's the problem that.

154
00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:48,000
Speaker 2: That's that's where where you kind of you go deeper

155
00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:49,800
Speaker 2: and deeper and deeper, and you get all of these

156
00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:52,880
Speaker 2: things substantiated, you know, and then it becomes the forest

157
00:07:52,880 --> 00:07:57,880
Speaker 2: for the trees issue, and hopefully, hopefully the candidates do

158
00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:01,920

Speaker 1: Good morning. Representative Max Rymer, Hello and more fraud.

197
00:10:06,040 --> 00:10:12,280
Speaker 2: According to court documents, Jonathan Weinhagen Hagen whatever former CEO

198
00:10:12,360 --> 00:10:16,000
Speaker 2: of the Minneapolis Regional Chamber of Congress. Weinhagen set up

199
00:10:16,040 --> 00:10:20,839
Speaker 2: a fictional company called Synergy Partners that was owned by

200
00:10:20,960 --> 00:10:26,160
Speaker 2: James Sullivan, a fake persona made up by Weinhagen. In turn,

201
00:10:26,280 --> 00:10:31,240
Speaker 2: Wyhagen allegedly used his position at the Minneapolis Chamber of

202
00:10:31,280 --> 00:10:35,920
Speaker 2: Commerce to enter into contracts with his fake company.

203
00:10:36,080 --> 00:10:36,800
Speaker 1: And I love it.

204
00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:39,199
Speaker 2: I'm working off the version here from Alpha News, and

205
00:10:39,240 --> 00:10:41,440
Speaker 2: Alpha News was quick to go and post photos of

206
00:10:41,720 --> 00:10:44,000
Speaker 2: Jonathan Weinhagen cozying up with Walta.

207
00:10:44,080 --> 00:10:46,319
Speaker 1: It just makes me laugh at all these individuals.

208
00:10:46,640 --> 00:10:49,160
Speaker 2: I know the connections here, they're dfllas that I get it,

209
00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:52,120
Speaker 2: but it's still is very amusing to see.

210
00:10:52,160 --> 00:10:56,480
Speaker 1: Couldn't have happened to a worse person. Jonathan Weinhagen.

211
00:10:56,480 --> 00:10:58,920
Speaker 4: When I had an agency in Minneapolis, we were part

212
00:10:58,960 --> 00:11:02,240
Speaker 4: of the Minneapolis Chamber of Commerce, and during the heat

213
00:11:02,240 --> 00:11:04,640
Speaker 4: of the COVID lockdowns, we got a letter from Jonathan

214
00:11:04,679 --> 00:11:09,000
Speaker 4: Weinhagen and the Chamber of Commerce including a survey, and

215
00:11:09,120 --> 00:11:14,520
Speaker 4: basically the survey was geared towards having small businesses come

216
00:11:14,520 --> 00:11:16,760
Speaker 4: out and say that the lockdowns were a really good

217
00:11:16,800 --> 00:11:20,480
Speaker 4: thing for Minneapolis and the Minneapolis business community.

218
00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:23,960
Speaker 6: That is, like, that's just evil, that's just evil.

219
00:11:24,040 --> 00:11:24,840
Speaker 1: This guy sucks.

220
00:11:25,040 --> 00:11:27,439
Speaker 6: He also picks like the fakest sounding company they.

221
00:11:27,440 --> 00:11:31,760
Speaker 1: All do, my god, Broad Companies, Synergy, Synergy.

222
00:11:32,320 --> 00:11:35,240
Speaker 2: Oh and by the yeah s y and of course yeah,

223
00:11:35,880 --> 00:11:41,880
Speaker 2: Synergy Partners. So federal authorities say that Winehagen caused the

224
00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:44,240
Speaker 2: Chamber of Commerce to pay more than one hundred thousand

225
00:11:44,240 --> 00:11:49,320
Speaker 2: dollars to Synergy Partners pursuant to the sham contracts, borrowed

226
00:11:49,400 --> 00:11:51,760
Speaker 2: more than one hundred and twenty five thousand dollars from

227
00:11:51,760 --> 00:11:55,120
Speaker 2: a line of credit he opened in the Chambers name,

228
00:11:55,559 --> 00:11:57,320
Speaker 2: and transferred those funds.

229
00:11:56,960 --> 00:11:58,400
Speaker 1: To Synergy Partners.

230
00:11:58,960 --> 00:12:02,040
Speaker 2: Weinhagen reported use the funds for doing nothing with my

231
00:12:02,040 --> 00:12:07,120
Speaker 2: fingers personal expenses. Oh boy, court documents say that Weinhagen.

232
00:12:07,720 --> 00:12:10,040
Speaker 2: I'm gonna keep going back and forth. Winehagen and Hagen

233
00:12:10,480 --> 00:12:13,600
Speaker 2: tried to cover his tracks by sending fakey emails making

234
00:12:13,600 --> 00:12:17,679
Speaker 2: it appear that Synergy Partners no longer existed and that

235
00:12:17,800 --> 00:12:20,880
Speaker 2: James Sullivan, the persona that he had made up, had died.

236
00:12:21,559 --> 00:12:23,640
Speaker 1: The CEO even published a fake.

237
00:12:23,520 --> 00:12:28,200
Speaker 2: Obituary for James Sullivan on legacy dot Com, stating that

238
00:12:28,200 --> 00:12:30,480
Speaker 2: Sullivan had died of pancreatic cancer.

239
00:12:30,720 --> 00:12:37,760
Speaker 1: Oh he tried. I throw the book at this guy.

240
00:12:37,800 --> 00:12:38,680
Speaker 1: By the way, it.

241
00:12:38,600 --> 00:12:41,360
Speaker 2: Never ceases to amaze me that I see a story

242
00:12:41,480 --> 00:12:45,240
Speaker 2: like this and I go the amount of effort that

243
00:12:45,520 --> 00:12:50,040
Speaker 2: you expend, expended in order to commit this level of fraud.

244
00:12:50,120 --> 00:12:52,920
Speaker 2: If you had just taken that and applied it lawfully,

245
00:12:53,200 --> 00:12:55,520
Speaker 2: you probably could have made even more monchy we most

246
00:12:55,559 --> 00:12:59,320
Speaker 2: some lawns man just say the length of this guy

247
00:12:59,480 --> 00:13:00,320
Speaker 2: went true.

248
00:13:00,440 --> 00:13:00,600
Speaker 1: You know.

249
00:13:00,679 --> 00:13:02,760
Speaker 3: But here's the thing, because I hear that argument, and

250
00:13:02,800 --> 00:13:04,839
Speaker 3: I hear you, I feel you when you say it. Okay,

251
00:13:05,160 --> 00:13:08,440
Speaker 3: but doing all of this elaborate stuff, maybe it takes

252
00:13:08,480 --> 00:13:10,400
Speaker 3: I don't know, let's say two weeks to come up

253
00:13:10,400 --> 00:13:12,360
Speaker 3: with all your elaborate schemes. The rest of the time,

254
00:13:12,440 --> 00:13:14,760
Speaker 3: you literally don't have to do anything because you're just

255
00:13:15,040 --> 00:13:18,040
Speaker 3: that's true, that's true, fraudulently scamming the system, and you.

256
00:13:18,080 --> 00:13:20,040
Speaker 1: Have to be a scumbag in order to do this.

257
00:13:20,120 --> 00:13:22,360
Speaker 2: I got I got a private message from a friend

258
00:13:22,360 --> 00:13:24,439
Speaker 2: of the show, so I'm just going to leave it anonymous.

259
00:13:26,320 --> 00:13:29,880
Speaker 2: He says, ok I'm leaving out who the person is.

260
00:13:30,600 --> 00:13:35,440
Speaker 2: Winehagen was my neighbor in short view. His home bordered

261
00:13:35,480 --> 00:13:38,640
Speaker 2: my backyard, and I always felt there was something fishy

262
00:13:39,200 --> 00:13:42,199
Speaker 2: for a very left wing liberal. How does he function

263
00:13:42,280 --> 00:13:45,120
Speaker 2: as the CEO of the Chamber of Commerce? How does

264
00:13:45,160 --> 00:13:50,960
Speaker 2: a progressive encourage capitalism? Well, now we know the answer,

265
00:13:51,320 --> 00:13:53,960
Speaker 2: so to your point Max from earlier, just even neighbors

266
00:13:53,960 --> 00:13:54,400
Speaker 2: were like.

267
00:13:54,720 --> 00:13:57,040
Speaker 1: There's something kind of off about this, about this, I

268
00:13:57,080 --> 00:14:02,320
Speaker 1: think I just found mister saw Evan's obituary. Did you

269
00:14:02,400 --> 00:14:03,240
Speaker 1: really the good?

270
00:14:05,559 --> 00:14:07,720
Speaker 4: Now? Hey, if this is a real person, I totally

271
00:14:07,760 --> 00:14:09,160
Speaker 4: like absolved myself here.

272
00:14:09,320 --> 00:14:12,320
Speaker 2: Okay, okay, well hold on what get yourself familiar with it.

273
00:14:12,400 --> 00:14:14,320
Speaker 2: Let me go through a few more I got some points. Okay,

274
00:14:14,400 --> 00:14:15,800
Speaker 2: let me go through a few more details of the

275
00:14:15,840 --> 00:14:19,400
Speaker 2: story here. Additionally, court documents say that Weinhagen paid for

276
00:14:19,440 --> 00:14:22,240
Speaker 2: a Hawaiian vacation for himself and his family, as well

277
00:14:22,280 --> 00:14:26,400
Speaker 2: as other personal expenses, with a Chamber of Commerce credit card.

278
00:14:26,760 --> 00:14:30,600
Speaker 2: The multi count indictment also says the Minneapolis Regional Chamber

279
00:14:30,640 --> 00:14:33,720
Speaker 2: of Commerce sent thirty thousand dollars to a group called

280
00:14:34,040 --> 00:14:38,680
Speaker 2: Crime Stoppers in twenty twenty one to fund three separate

281
00:14:38,800 --> 00:14:43,320
Speaker 2: ten thousand dollars rewards for information leading to the arrest

282
00:14:43,360 --> 00:14:47,280
Speaker 2: and prosecution of those responsible for shootings that killed two

283
00:14:47,480 --> 00:14:51,680
Speaker 2: children and injured the third. However, those rewards were not

284
00:14:51,800 --> 00:14:56,680
Speaker 2: claimed after a year Federal authority say Weinhagen then devised

285
00:14:56,680 --> 00:15:00,920
Speaker 2: a scheme to obtain the thirty thousand dollars for himself

286
00:15:01,680 --> 00:15:05,640
Speaker 2: by requesting that Crime Stoppers returned the funds to the

287
00:15:05,760 --> 00:15:11,080
Speaker 2: Chamber of Commerce. The CEO reportedly instructed crime Stoppers to, again,

288
00:15:11,160 --> 00:15:15,600
Speaker 2: with my fingers, send the refund checks to his home address,

289
00:15:16,200 --> 00:15:20,800
Speaker 2: which he falsely represented to be the Chamber of Commerce's

290
00:15:21,120 --> 00:15:22,200
Speaker 2: new address.

291
00:15:22,520 --> 00:15:24,040
Speaker 1: Oh my goodness, this.

292
00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:29,160
Speaker 2: Guy was ponned or is pond scum, and he's got

293
00:15:29,160 --> 00:15:30,880
Speaker 2: a family, and family's.

294
00:15:30,480 --> 00:15:33,600
Speaker 1: Not aware of this while at all. So you found

295
00:15:33,600 --> 00:15:35,160
Speaker 1: the obituary, I'm pretty sure.

296
00:15:35,200 --> 00:15:38,520
Speaker 4: I'm pretty sure I did, And apologies if there's a

297
00:15:38,560 --> 00:15:41,840
Speaker 4: real James Sullivan who died April twenty first, twenty twenty four,

298
00:15:41,920 --> 00:15:45,400
Speaker 4: out there, But this kind of reads vague enough that

299
00:15:45,520 --> 00:15:48,920
Speaker 4: I think this is this is the one. James Sullivan,

300
00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:51,920
Speaker 4: sixty two of Saint Paul, Minnesota, passed away peacefully surrounded

301
00:15:51,920 --> 00:15:54,360
Speaker 4: by family on March twenty eighth twenty twenty four, after

302
00:15:54,360 --> 00:15:57,280
Speaker 4: a battle of pancreatic cancer. He was a family man

303
00:15:57,400 --> 00:16:02,000
Speaker 4: who balanced a successful consulting career. Jim was charismatic, hardworking,

304
00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:03,320
Speaker 4: and always put outthers first.

305
00:16:03,640 --> 00:16:05,000
Speaker 1: He survived by his wife.

306
00:16:04,800 --> 00:16:09,920
Speaker 4: Susan, son Bill, daughter in law Julie Sullivan, and grandson Brayden,

307
00:16:10,040 --> 00:16:12,240
Speaker 4: and granddaughter Simone.

308
00:16:12,520 --> 00:16:13,840
Speaker 1: Jim was preceded in death by his.

309
00:16:13,800 --> 00:16:16,760
Speaker 4: Parents, Albert and Tracy Sullivan, and his brother Tim Sullivan.

310
00:16:17,720 --> 00:16:23,000
Speaker 4: Here's where I'm like, okay again, the whole fanpologies to

311
00:16:23,040 --> 00:16:25,920
Speaker 4: the Sullivan family if this is real. Jim attended the

312
00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:29,320
Speaker 4: University of Minnesota and had a career in political consulting,

313
00:16:29,840 --> 00:16:33,600
Speaker 4: including serving as the North Dakota field organizer for the

314
00:16:33,680 --> 00:16:37,560
Speaker 4: Ducacis for President campaign in nineteen eighty eight, where he

315
00:16:37,560 --> 00:16:40,480
Speaker 4: cut his teeth and never looked back. In his free time,

316
00:16:40,520 --> 00:16:44,400
Speaker 4: he enjoyed pheasant hunting and was a lifelong rotarian. A

317
00:16:44,440 --> 00:16:47,920
Speaker 4: private internment was held earlier this month with close friends

318
00:16:47,960 --> 00:16:48,560
Speaker 4: and family.

319
00:16:50,280 --> 00:16:53,000
Speaker 1: That's okay, that's pretty fascinating that you went all that deep.

320
00:16:53,080 --> 00:16:55,480
Speaker 4: I mean, this guy started a file began it does

321
00:16:55,680 --> 00:17:01,440
Speaker 4: It's vague enough, though. Political consulting Docacus for president in

322
00:17:01,520 --> 00:17:02,120
Speaker 4: North Dakota.

323
00:17:02,160 --> 00:17:03,240
Speaker 1: YEA who would look into that.

324
00:17:04,560 --> 00:17:06,840
Speaker 2: We're going to find out that Weinhagen, when he made

325
00:17:06,880 --> 00:17:09,320
Speaker 2: this fake persona of James Sullivan, actually had like a

326
00:17:09,359 --> 00:17:14,719
Speaker 2: twenty three in meter account even legitimize it even further.

327
00:17:15,280 --> 00:17:17,880
Speaker 2: There's more here, by the way, the multiple count indictment

328
00:17:17,920 --> 00:17:21,240
Speaker 2: further alleges than Weinehgen lied about his income and work

329
00:17:21,280 --> 00:17:24,200
Speaker 2: status when attempting to obtain a fifty four six d

330
00:17:24,320 --> 00:17:27,159
Speaker 2: and sixty one dollars bank loan. His application for the

331
00:17:27,200 --> 00:17:31,040
Speaker 2: bank loan was ultimately denied. He's facing five federal charges,

332
00:17:31,080 --> 00:17:33,440
Speaker 2: two counts of wire fraud, one count of mail fraud,

333
00:17:33,520 --> 00:17:35,919
Speaker 2: one kund of attempted bank fraud, and one count of

334
00:17:35,920 --> 00:17:38,679
Speaker 2: false of false statement in a loan application.

335
00:17:38,800 --> 00:17:42,280
Speaker 1: How do you I, I how do you live? Like?

336
00:17:42,320 --> 00:17:45,280
Speaker 2: How do you live your life just in peace when

337
00:17:45,320 --> 00:17:48,440
Speaker 2: you are conducting this much illegal activity that.

338
00:17:48,480 --> 00:17:49,560
Speaker 1: Is like psychopathic?

339
00:17:49,640 --> 00:17:53,080
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, he's certifiable. He's absolutely certifiable. Like he needs

340
00:17:53,080 --> 00:17:55,040
Speaker 2: a team, like not one doctor, he needs like a

341
00:17:55,119 --> 00:17:57,520
Speaker 2: team around him just to analyze him.

342
00:17:57,600 --> 00:18:00,280
Speaker 3: So here's what I'll say to that is that I

343
00:18:00,320 --> 00:18:03,720
Speaker 3: do agree that to average people whose brains work well,

344
00:18:04,600 --> 00:18:07,040
Speaker 3: it's like this guy's psychopath. But there's a lot of

345
00:18:07,080 --> 00:18:11,359
Speaker 3: people that they do not care at all about taking

346
00:18:11,440 --> 00:18:14,480
Speaker 3: advantage of other people stealing their money because they justify

347
00:18:14,520 --> 00:18:18,560
Speaker 3: it because they themselves are so singularly focused on what

348
00:18:18,720 --> 00:18:20,040
Speaker 3: is good for them.

349
00:18:20,200 --> 00:18:20,600
Speaker 1: We call it.

350
00:18:20,640 --> 00:18:23,359
Speaker 3: Narcissist personality to sort or whatever it might be, like,

351
00:18:23,400 --> 00:18:26,440
Speaker 3: they just none of that matters. All of that is outside,

352
00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:30,200
Speaker 3: you know, noise, whoever gets hurt. It's just they're so

353
00:18:30,240 --> 00:18:34,919
Speaker 3: singularly focused. And that actually is very emblematical of a

354
00:18:34,920 --> 00:18:37,200
Speaker 3: lot of Democrats in this country.

355
00:18:36,840 --> 00:18:39,440
Speaker 1: And Minnesota allows for it to keep that in mind.

356
00:18:39,520 --> 00:18:42,840
Speaker 4: Right. The reason that this guy, the CEO of the

357
00:18:42,960 --> 00:18:46,239
Speaker 4: Minneapolis Chamber of Commerce, thought he could get away with

358
00:18:46,280 --> 00:18:50,320
Speaker 4: it was because Minnesota gives you a pathway to commit

359
00:18:50,400 --> 00:18:51,200
Speaker 4: this type of fraud.

360
00:18:51,359 --> 00:18:53,760
Speaker 1: He was so emboldened that he thought he could get

361
00:18:53,800 --> 00:18:56,280
Speaker 1: away with it because of the system that we have.

362
00:18:56,760 --> 00:19:00,159
Speaker 2: From twenty one to twenty three, Winehogen donated six and

363
00:19:00,280 --> 00:19:03,520
Speaker 2: to the re election efforts of Governor Tim Walls. Campaign

364
00:19:03,920 --> 00:19:08,159
Speaker 2: finance database Base also reports that Weinhagen made made a

365
00:19:08,720 --> 00:19:11,440
Speaker 2: five hundred dollars campaign donation over the past a decade.

366
00:19:11,520 --> 00:19:15,760
Speaker 2: Nine thousand of that went to Democratic candidates and causes, so.

367
00:19:15,840 --> 00:19:16,640
Speaker 1: You got to grease them.

368
00:19:16,640 --> 00:19:19,520

Speaker 7: foundation of the ooh, the new ball and that I

375

379
00:20:00,440 --> 00:20:03,480

00:20:11,480 --> 00:20:13,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, I was gonna say actor or politician.

385
00:20:14,920 --> 00:20:16,840
Speaker 3: I mean again, it has to be a bit that's

386
00:20:16,880 --> 00:20:18,720
Speaker 3: like from something that's pop.

387
00:20:18,520 --> 00:20:24,560
Speaker 1: Culture, that's gracious, looks confused. That was a really custom pointing. Guys,

388
00:20:25,240 --> 00:20:27,760

389
00:20:27,920 --> 00:20:31,200
Speaker 3: You know, this guy sounds like just a good old

390
00:20:31,400 --> 00:20:32,720
Speaker 3: fashioned criminal.

Speaker 1: let me.

393
00:20:38,240 --> 00:20:40,600
Speaker 2: I'm gonna stop here because because he goes on to

394
00:20:40,640 --> 00:20:43,399
Speaker 2: talk about compared to the fraud that's happening, but that

395
00:20:43,960 --> 00:20:46,240
Speaker 2: and I get that, but there's a correlation here, and

396
00:20:46,280 --> 00:20:48,680
Speaker 2: I mean, I'm just gonna put a pin in it.

420
00:21:48,080 --> 00:21:51,400
Speaker 2: none of it's new. However, you just you take it

421
00:21:51,440 --> 00:21:56,440
Speaker 2: in total, especially here in Minnesota, and you can't I

422
00:21:56,760 --> 00:21:59,440
Speaker 2: can't help but wonder when it comes to like this winegarden,

423
00:21:59,480 --> 00:22:02,080
Speaker 2: you know that the winehogging guy, like what else was

424
00:22:02,119 --> 00:22:06,960
Speaker 2: he aware of that was also taking place within you know,

425
00:22:07,520 --> 00:22:10,520
Speaker 2: the state of Minnesota. The other fraud that is occurring

426
00:22:10,560 --> 00:22:14,280
Speaker 2: under Democrat watch. Seeing other people do it that emboldens

427
00:22:14,320 --> 00:22:18,240
Speaker 2: you to do so. I mean, we just we we live,

428
00:22:18,560 --> 00:22:21,280
Speaker 2: and we're coming out of an era of four years

429
00:22:21,640 --> 00:22:26,280
Speaker 2: of a lack of accountability on numerous levels. I mean,

430
00:22:26,280 --> 00:22:30,959
Speaker 2: I'm staring at the NBA scandal erupting, FEDSNAB player coaching,

431
00:22:31,040 --> 00:22:35,240
Speaker 2: illegal gambling crackdown, and you look at this particular story

432
00:22:35,280 --> 00:22:38,679
Speaker 2: and what transpired here, you know, emblematic of the larger

433
00:22:38,720 --> 00:22:40,640
Speaker 2: issue that we're talking about and yeah, you can put

434
00:22:40,680 --> 00:22:43,200
Speaker 2: all of these under the same under the same umbrella.

435
00:22:43,400 --> 00:22:44,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, what an insane story.

436
00:22:44,760 --> 00:22:48,240
Speaker 4: And to your point with the with Jonathan Weinhagen, how

437
00:22:48,280 --> 00:22:50,920
Speaker 4: else was he coaching other people to do what he

438
00:22:50,960 --> 00:22:53,720
Speaker 4: was doing because people all talk to each other, These

439
00:22:53,720 --> 00:22:55,840
Speaker 4: people all know the system and how to game it.

440
00:22:56,440 --> 00:22:59,520
Speaker 4: When I when I think about how in any one

441
00:22:59,560 --> 00:23:04,000
Speaker 4: of these cases be a daycare, mental health facilities, these

442
00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:06,760
Speaker 4: people are being coached on how to do this, and

443
00:23:06,800 --> 00:23:09,320
Speaker 4: Weinhagen was in a position of power where it does

444
00:23:09,400 --> 00:23:12,760
Speaker 4: make me think, who are you coaching to do exactly

445
00:23:12,840 --> 00:23:13,640
Speaker 4: what you tried to do.

446
00:23:14,320 --> 00:23:17,240
Speaker 1: But by the way, guys, we all, we all missed this.

447
00:23:17,600 --> 00:23:21,440
Speaker 1: I just want to hey, that talkback was Ronald Reagan impression.

448
00:23:22,240 --> 00:23:24,600
Speaker 1: I thought that was pretty obvious. Obviously it wasn't all

449
00:23:24,720 --> 00:23:26,080
Speaker 1: obvious to all of us because.

450
00:23:26,680 --> 00:23:30,919
Speaker 3: Listen, man, I was born nineteen eighty four, and you know,

451
00:23:31,160 --> 00:23:34,359
Speaker 3: the only I guess the perception that I have of

452
00:23:34,440 --> 00:23:38,080
Speaker 3: Ronald Reagan are from like his greatest speeches is that

453
00:23:38,080 --> 00:23:38,919
Speaker 3: from like a movie?

454
00:23:39,359 --> 00:23:40,040
Speaker 1: Like is that what it is?

455
00:23:40,160 --> 00:23:41,600
Speaker 2: I think you just in generally was trying to do

456
00:23:41,640 --> 00:23:43,399
Speaker 2: Reagan any think that I would have keen in on

457
00:23:43,400 --> 00:23:44,920
Speaker 2: that and you would have Max. Since we did the

458
00:23:44,960 --> 00:23:49,000
Speaker 2: Reagan dinner last Saturday night, I thought, I just work

459
00:23:49,040 --> 00:23:49,240
Speaker 2: on it.

460
00:23:49,320 --> 00:23:52,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, work, just work on it. Workshot that one get

461
00:23:52,640 --> 00:23:53,359
Speaker 1: in front of the mirror.

462
00:23:54,080 --> 00:23:58,080
Speaker 2: Practice Thursday morning, just two days after the NBA games,

463
00:23:58,119 --> 00:24:01,000
Speaker 2: tipped off an NBA player and a head coach, where

464
00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:04,040
Speaker 2: among thirty people arrested as part of the FBI investigation

465
00:24:04,160 --> 00:24:08,600
Speaker 2: into fraud and illegal gambling that involved the Mafia. You

466
00:24:08,680 --> 00:24:13,159
Speaker 2: had Miami heat point card Terry Rogier right, rested at

467
00:24:13,240 --> 00:24:16,399
Speaker 2: hotel in Orlando hours after his team lost to the

Speaker 2: coach and Chauncey Billups had been taken into custody and

471
00:24:27,280 --> 00:24:30,800
Speaker 2: charged in an illegal poker operation tied to organized crime.

472
00:24:31,119 --> 00:24:33,520
Speaker 2: So the poker part of it, you have these mob

473
00:24:33,640 --> 00:24:38,800
Speaker 2: organizations that were conducting these poker games wherein they were

474
00:24:38,920 --> 00:24:41,359
Speaker 2: monitoring all of the games that were taking place. They

475
00:24:41,359 --> 00:24:45,800
Speaker 2: were using high tech contact contact lenses, cameras, microphones. They

476
00:24:45,800 --> 00:24:48,560
Speaker 2: had a table that was an X ray machine essentially

477
00:24:48,600 --> 00:24:51,480
Speaker 2: to where they could scan the cards that were faced

478
00:24:51,480 --> 00:24:53,400
Speaker 2: down on the tables so they could see what they

479
00:24:53,440 --> 00:24:57,160
Speaker 2: were We're talking millions of dollars they were taking from

480
00:24:57,160 --> 00:24:59,800
Speaker 2: these gamblers, and when the gamblers went and brought it

481
00:25:00,200 --> 00:25:02,960
Speaker 2: to their attention and didn't want to pay, they basically

482
00:25:03,040 --> 00:25:08,000
Speaker 2: used mob tactics of fear, intimidation and violence to keep

483
00:25:08,040 --> 00:25:09,000
Speaker 2: them from going.

484
00:25:08,760 --> 00:25:10,679
Speaker 1: To the FEDS. And then you'll get to the NBA

485
00:25:10,840 --> 00:25:11,400
Speaker 1: part of it.

486
00:25:11,720 --> 00:25:13,920
Speaker 2: And this is all based off of the online gambling

487
00:25:13,920 --> 00:25:16,880
Speaker 2: and the prop bets, wherein one of the players went

488
00:25:16,920 --> 00:25:20,000
Speaker 2: out with an injury early but had let other individuals

489
00:25:20,040 --> 00:25:21,760
Speaker 2: know what was going to happen. They put a bunch

490
00:25:21,800 --> 00:25:23,840
Speaker 2: of money down on the prop bet based off of

491
00:25:23,880 --> 00:25:25,920
Speaker 2: his statistics.

492
00:25:25,160 --> 00:25:25,720
Speaker 1: For the game.

493
00:25:25,760 --> 00:25:29,359
Speaker 2: It ended up reaping the tens of thousands, if not

494
00:25:29,520 --> 00:25:32,520
Speaker 2: hundreds of thousands of dollars in gambling money. This story

495
00:25:32,680 --> 00:25:34,920
Speaker 2: is absolutely insane.

496
00:25:35,320 --> 00:25:38,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, so listen, I try I put this out there

497
00:25:38,320 --> 00:25:40,080
Speaker 3: on x and you can follow me at really a K.

498
00:25:40,240 --> 00:25:43,080
Speaker 3: Kamara and I just kind of made this point that

499
00:25:43,400 --> 00:25:45,720
Speaker 3: there was a lot of people on the right that

500
00:25:45,840 --> 00:25:50,680
Speaker 3: do have moral, if you want to say, withholdings when

501
00:25:50,680 --> 00:25:53,960
Speaker 3: it comes to allowing gambling and other degenerate behavior to

502
00:25:54,000 --> 00:25:56,960
Speaker 3: be legalized, and we were poo pooed and said like,

503
00:25:57,200 --> 00:26:00,479
Speaker 3: you're just parol clutching when we were talking like this

504
00:26:00,600 --> 00:26:04,520
Speaker 3: legalization of gambling happening all across America, And I just I.

505
00:26:04,520 --> 00:26:05,280
Speaker 1: Just want to point this out.

506
00:26:05,320 --> 00:26:07,560
Speaker 3: It's not that I think that we should make it

507
00:26:07,600 --> 00:26:11,199
Speaker 3: illegal or whatever it might be. It's that understand that

508
00:26:11,200 --> 00:26:14,119
Speaker 3: there are always going to be consequences. And one of

509
00:26:14,119 --> 00:26:17,959
Speaker 3: the things with degenerate behavior is organized crime is heavily

510
00:26:17,960 --> 00:26:21,800
Speaker 3: involved in all forms of degenerate behavior, and so it's

511
00:26:21,840 --> 00:26:25,320
Speaker 3: not surprising to me that this has happened. I bet

512
00:26:25,880 --> 00:26:30,200
Speaker 3: if everywhere you look, every degenerate operation that is legalized

513
00:26:30,359 --> 00:26:33,680
Speaker 3: in America, if you look, you will find criminal elements.

514
00:26:34,000 --> 00:26:34,919
Speaker 1: And that's the truth.

515
00:26:35,280 --> 00:26:38,080
Speaker 3: And I'm just telling people, once you actually start to

516
00:26:38,119 --> 00:26:41,480
Speaker 3: peel back, you know the layers of the legal pot

517
00:26:41,520 --> 00:26:43,719
Speaker 3: operations going around. And we got a glimmer of that

518
00:26:43,760 --> 00:26:47,760
Speaker 3: in California when Ice rated and they found child slaves

519
00:26:47,920 --> 00:26:49,040
Speaker 3: working the pot fields.

520
00:26:49,160 --> 00:26:50,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, this is just a part.

521
00:26:50,760 --> 00:26:52,800
Speaker 3: So I just that's my my analysis is like, of

522
00:26:52,840 --> 00:26:56,280
Speaker 3: course organized crime is involved in sports gambling because they

523
00:26:56,280 --> 00:26:57,720
Speaker 3: always have been, they always will be.

524
00:26:57,880 --> 00:26:59,480
Speaker 1: This is why those are the things that we have

525
00:26:59,560 --> 00:26:59,920
Speaker 1: to be aware.

526
00:27:00,359 --> 00:27:01,840
Speaker 6: All I can say is I can't wait for the

527
00:27:01,840 --> 00:27:02,920
Speaker 6: movie version to come out.

528
00:27:03,400 --> 00:27:06,520
Speaker 1: If Hollywood messes this up, we gotta we gotta fix that.

529
00:27:06,640 --> 00:27:08,359
Speaker 1: The poker story is pretty wild.

530
00:27:08,480 --> 00:27:11,919
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm writing X ray machines and tinted glasses to

531
00:27:11,960 --> 00:27:16,320
Speaker 4: figure out what marked cards are movie. Whoa, they really

532
00:27:16,440 --> 00:27:18,760
Speaker 4: put some And by the way, we mentioned it earlier,

533
00:27:19,720 --> 00:27:22,280
Speaker 4: like the Gambino family is still something that exists.

534
00:27:23,440 --> 00:27:26,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, when they started naming off the different mafias, I

535
00:27:26,320 --> 00:27:28,600
Speaker 2: was just sitting about, going, these are you to what

536
00:27:28,640 --> 00:27:30,879
Speaker 2: you were saying? I was like, these are still around?

537
00:27:31,400 --> 00:27:33,639
Speaker 2: We still have these groups in case over there, going

538
00:27:33,680 --> 00:27:34,640
Speaker 2: what's going on with you guys?

539
00:27:34,680 --> 00:27:37,760
Speaker 1: Yea, yes, in on it. Yes, they're everywhere. I mean everywhere.

540
00:27:38,440 --> 00:27:43,280
Speaker 2: Listen between the between the Louver heist this week, right, Taylor.

541
00:27:44,280 --> 00:27:46,280
Speaker 1: You know I can't wait this. The script is.

542
00:27:46,240 --> 00:27:49,840
Speaker 2: Already being being written immediately. Molly's game pops to Mine.

543
00:27:49,880 --> 00:27:51,719
Speaker 2: I've got that on Blu Ray. Fantastic film. If you've

00:27:51,760 --> 00:27:52,480
Speaker 2: never seen it before, you.

545
00:27:53,040 --> 00:27:55,359
Speaker 1: Never heard of a poker movie. Poker movie as well,

546
00:27:56,119 --> 00:27:58,400
Speaker 1: I have seen that. That's a great movie. Fantastic movie. Yeah,

547
00:27:58,400 --> 00:27:58,919
Speaker 1: true story.

548
00:27:59,000 --> 00:28:02,119
Speaker 3: I was out at poker I just I'm not interested

549
00:28:02,160 --> 00:28:03,480
Speaker 3: in anything involved with cards.

550
00:28:03,560 --> 00:28:06,720
Speaker 4: I used to play poker with Drew God Rest his soul,

551
00:28:07,200 --> 00:28:08,480
Speaker 4: probably like every other weekend.

552
00:28:09,000 --> 00:28:11,160
Speaker 2: Never I never did, only because I only know how

553
00:28:11,160 --> 00:28:14,000
Speaker 2: to do MAUI and go fish, so never have I

554
00:28:14,040 --> 00:28:16,360
Speaker 2: know I'm solitaire, I know how to play twenty one,

555
00:28:17,320 --> 00:28:18,480
Speaker 2: and I know how to play spades.

556
00:28:18,960 --> 00:28:20,040
Speaker 1: So I like, how.

557
00:28:19,920 --> 00:28:23,000
Speaker 4: Ak is like acting like this is like some degenerate

558
00:28:23,000 --> 00:28:25,760
Speaker 4: thing that people engage in. And never played poker while

559
00:28:25,800 --> 00:28:29,560
Speaker 4: sipping his massive alcohol drink at fourteen years old in

560
00:28:29,640 --> 00:28:30,720
Speaker 4: North Dakota.

561
00:28:30,800 --> 00:28:33,720
Speaker 1: Hey, yeah, you know we like listen, I fully.

562
00:28:33,400 --> 00:28:37,080
Speaker 3: Embrace my degeneracy, but I don't also endorse it either.

563
00:28:38,120 --> 00:28:40,560
Speaker 1: We slammed alcohol, but we never touched cards.

564
00:28:40,800 --> 00:28:44,600
Speaker 2: There's a line a Virginia couple has gone to court

565
00:28:44,640 --> 00:28:47,080
Speaker 2: to try to blok President Donald Trump from proceeding with

566
00:28:47,120 --> 00:28:50,000
Speaker 2: the demolition of the White House's East wing to make

567
00:28:50,040 --> 00:28:51,040
Speaker 2: way for a new ballroom.

568
00:28:51,080 --> 00:28:54,280
Speaker 1: Well that's too late. He's leveled it, so he's too late.

569
00:28:54,360 --> 00:28:55,760
Speaker 2: Maybe I don't know if you guys know, this has

570
00:28:55,760 --> 00:28:57,040
Speaker 2: been a bit of a controversy on.

571
00:28:57,000 --> 00:28:57,760
Speaker 1: The Left House of late.

572
00:28:57,840 --> 00:29:00,000
Speaker 4: By the way, this couple, as I was reading this story,

573
00:29:00,720 --> 00:29:02,720
Speaker 4: is this just two random people in Virginia.

574
00:29:03,120 --> 00:29:05,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, and even in the listen the filing, which was

575
00:29:05,400 --> 00:29:08,240
Speaker 2: not accompanied by a formal complaint that typically initiates a

576
00:29:08,280 --> 00:29:11,600
Speaker 2: lawsuit and was mislabeled, and the Courts online docketing system

577
00:29:11,640 --> 00:29:15,000
Speaker 2: appears to be the first legal action over Trump's ballroom project,

578
00:29:15,000 --> 00:29:16,880
Speaker 2: although it appears as if they didn't do even the

579
00:29:16,880 --> 00:29:21,720
Speaker 2: proper legwork to make this viable. Their names very apropos

580
00:29:21,760 --> 00:29:26,040
Speaker 2: for Halloween. Charles and Judith Vorhees. You're lying, I'm not

581
00:29:26,120 --> 00:29:26,720
Speaker 2: even kidding.

582
00:29:26,760 --> 00:29:30,600
Speaker 4: You know, you know this is this is some sixty

583
00:29:30,760 --> 00:29:34,800
Speaker 4: seven year old. This is some sixty seven year old

584
00:29:35,280 --> 00:29:36,880
Speaker 4: northern Virginia.

585
00:29:36,880 --> 00:29:39,760
Speaker 1: On a resistance couple. Mild this lawsuit.

586
00:29:40,480 --> 00:29:43,240
Speaker 2: President Donald Trump had did have a comment yesterday about

587
00:29:43,720 --> 00:29:45,840
Speaker 2: about the ballroom and the renovations at the White House.

588
00:29:46,120 --> 00:29:48,040
Speaker 9: And I usually like to steer it to the White

589
00:29:48,040 --> 00:29:52,240
Speaker 9: House because this house was a little bit abandoned. First

590
00:29:52,240 --> 00:29:53,920
Speaker 9: of all, for four years you had a guy walking

591
00:29:53,960 --> 00:29:55,719
Speaker 9: around that didn't know where the hell he was, and

592
00:29:56,440 --> 00:29:58,800
Speaker 9: this house was not taken care of the way it

593
00:29:58,840 --> 00:30:02,040
Speaker 9: was supposed to be. I take very good care of property.

594
00:30:02,240 --> 00:30:05,440
Speaker 9: I was very good at that. And you'll notice the

595
00:30:05,480 --> 00:30:08,840
Speaker 9: floors downstairs. I paid for them marble, the most beautiful

596
00:30:08,840 --> 00:30:11,000
Speaker 9: marble you've ever seen. The white floors down in the

597
00:30:11,000 --> 00:30:14,040
Speaker 9: Palmer Room, which where they look like they came out

598
00:30:14,040 --> 00:30:16,240
Speaker 9: of I don't want to lose because they're big supporters

599
00:30:16,240 --> 00:30:17,960
Speaker 9: of my Home Depot, so I'm.

600
00:30:17,800 --> 00:30:19,720
Speaker 1: Not going to say bad. But they did come out.

601
00:30:19,560 --> 00:30:21,840
Speaker 9: Of a box from Home Depot about thirty years ago.

602
00:30:21,880 --> 00:30:23,960
Speaker 9: They were all broken, but now they have the most

603
00:30:24,040 --> 00:30:27,600
Speaker 9: beautiful floors, the most beautiful lights and chandeliers. I think

604
00:30:27,640 --> 00:30:30,600
Speaker 9: most of you, Brian, you've seen that, right, How beautiful

605
00:30:30,640 --> 00:30:31,080
Speaker 9: is that?

606
00:30:30,920 --> 00:30:32,480
Speaker 1: And I take care of it.

607
00:30:32,560 --> 00:30:37,680
Speaker 9: So I spend millions of dollars on this building taking

608
00:30:37,720 --> 00:30:40,920
Speaker 9: care of it. It was not properly maintained. And now

609
00:30:40,960 --> 00:30:43,840
Speaker 9: it's starting to gleam like it should. It should really gleam.

610
00:30:43,840 --> 00:30:47,840
Speaker 9: And you should go down and visit the Presidential Walk

611
00:30:47,880 --> 00:30:48,320
Speaker 9: of Fame.

612
00:30:48,520 --> 00:30:51,600
Speaker 1: Have you seen it. It's quite quite good.

613
00:30:51,840 --> 00:30:53,440
Speaker 9: I'm sure that a lot of people come into the

614
00:30:53,480 --> 00:30:56,840
Speaker 9: White House. It's hot, it's very hot, but it's really

615
00:30:56,840 --> 00:30:59,480
Speaker 9: a tribute to the president's past presidents.

616
00:31:00,280 --> 00:31:04,880
Speaker 1: Y yeah, please, there's nobody else like him. He's the best.

617
00:31:05,080 --> 00:31:05,240
Speaker 9: You know.

618
00:31:05,360 --> 00:31:07,320
Speaker 1: Here's here's what I absolutely this is.

619
00:31:07,320 --> 00:31:10,720
Speaker 3: What I love about it is that Trump understands that

620
00:31:10,840 --> 00:31:14,120
Speaker 3: in this term he's going to do so many things

621
00:31:14,160 --> 00:31:16,600
Speaker 3: that you will be unable to erase him from the

622
00:31:16,680 --> 00:31:20,040
Speaker 3: history books, which I think would have been impossible. But now,

623
00:31:20,120 --> 00:31:22,560
Speaker 3: this is the real reason why Democrats are so upset,

624
00:31:22,920 --> 00:31:25,760
Speaker 3: is that for for the rest of human history, now

625
00:31:26,000 --> 00:31:29,000
Speaker 3: when we talk about the White House, the People's House,

626
00:31:29,600 --> 00:31:31,640
Speaker 3: this seem to be like President Trump put it in

627
00:31:31,680 --> 00:31:35,280
Speaker 3: this amazing ballroom, right like. And that's why the left

628
00:31:35,400 --> 00:31:39,920
Speaker 3: is so apoplectic about it, because now Trump is perfectly

629
00:31:41,040 --> 00:31:43,960
Speaker 3: to our our one of our I would say, our

630
00:31:44,040 --> 00:31:47,840
Speaker 3: greatest monuments to our country, which is you know that

631
00:31:47,920 --> 00:31:51,120
Speaker 3: we have a democratically elected president that has term limits

632
00:31:51,120 --> 00:31:51,920
Speaker 3: and all these different things.

633
00:31:52,160 --> 00:31:55,040
Speaker 4: And guess what, because of that permanent mark in the future,

634
00:31:55,080 --> 00:31:57,520
Speaker 4: both Democrat and Republican presidents are going.

635
00:31:57,320 --> 00:31:59,480
Speaker 1: To utilize that space and love it.

636
00:32:00,000 --> 00:32:02,719
Speaker 4: I'll never maybe they'll never publicly admit they love it, sure,

637
00:32:02,800 --> 00:32:03,360
Speaker 4: but they will.

638
00:32:03,560 --> 00:32:07,560
Speaker 2: Well, no, they won't because all all signs point to

639
00:32:07,600 --> 00:32:09,240
Speaker 2: Donald Trump having no intention of ever.

640
00:32:09,200 --> 00:32:10,280
Speaker 1: Leaving the White House. Oh, co.

641
00:32:12,760 --> 00:32:15,440
Speaker 2: We're gonna go We're gonna go out on this one here.

642
00:32:15,600 --> 00:32:17,560
Speaker 2: I've been holding on to it all morning longns is

643
00:32:17,600 --> 00:32:20,680
Speaker 2: from the Mere UK. Mikey Smith is his name. All

644
00:32:20,720 --> 00:32:22,760
Speaker 2: the signs that Donald Trump has no intention of ever

645
00:32:22,840 --> 00:32:25,360
Speaker 2: leaving the White House, Right, Let's I figure we can

646
00:32:25,400 --> 00:32:27,520
Speaker 2: go through these. Donald Trump has no intention, he writes,

647
00:32:27,560 --> 00:32:30,880
Speaker 2: of ever leaving the White House, not without a scrap.

648
00:32:31,000 --> 00:32:33,440
Speaker 2: At least, that seems like a weird thing to suggest,

649
00:32:33,520 --> 00:32:36,440
Speaker 2: but there is now so much evidence pointing to him

650
00:32:36,760 --> 00:32:39,120
Speaker 2: trying to cling to power beyond the end of his

651
00:32:39,200 --> 00:32:42,280
Speaker 2: legal presidential term that it is impossible to pretend it's

652
00:32:42,320 --> 00:32:42,840
Speaker 2: not happening.

653
00:32:43,680 --> 00:32:45,680
Speaker 1: You're ready, I'm ready coming in.

654
00:32:45,720 --> 00:32:47,840
Speaker 2: At number one, he keeps telling people who's gonna run

655
00:32:47,840 --> 00:32:53,040
Speaker 2: At twenty twenty eight, He's repeatedly floated the idea of

656
00:32:53,120 --> 00:32:57,120
Speaker 2: rewriting or bypassing constitutional rules that prevent him from serving

657
00:32:57,400 --> 00:33:02,000
Speaker 2: beyond two terms. Number two, he flooded the idea of

658
00:33:02,120 --> 00:33:04,680
Speaker 2: using a war to cancel the twenty twenty eight election

659
00:33:05,040 --> 00:33:07,520
Speaker 2: so he could stay in power. He talked about a

660
00:33:07,640 --> 00:33:11,240
Speaker 2: visit during during August with Zelensky, he indicated he likes

661
00:33:11,240 --> 00:33:13,960
Speaker 2: the idea of using war to cancel the next election,

662
00:33:14,040 --> 00:33:16,160
Speaker 2: allowing him to stay in power beyond his term limit.

663
00:33:16,960 --> 00:33:18,840
Speaker 1: Nice this GE's completely serious.

664
00:33:18,840 --> 00:33:20,080
Speaker 2: In all of this, by the way, right, he doesn't

665
00:33:20,120 --> 00:33:22,440
Speaker 2: see any of the context relating to the commentary that

666
00:33:22,560 --> 00:33:24,160
Speaker 2: was saying and the humor that Trump uses.

667
00:33:24,440 --> 00:33:27,360
Speaker 3: Yes, and in both of those one and two, Trump

668
00:33:27,440 --> 00:33:31,880
Speaker 3: is one percent making fun of Zelensky because Zelenski canceled

669
00:33:31,920 --> 00:33:35,280
Speaker 3: elections sustain in Bower, and also making fun of the

670
00:33:35,280 --> 00:33:37,040
Speaker 3: fact that he knows he can't run twenty eight But

671
00:33:37,120 --> 00:33:38,760
Speaker 3: he's like, yeah, we're looking into it.

672
00:33:39,120 --> 00:33:41,120
Speaker 1: You know, we're looking into it again.

673
00:33:41,160 --> 00:33:43,280
Speaker 2: These are all the signs that Trump has no intention

674
00:33:43,320 --> 00:33:45,480
Speaker 2: of ever leaving the White House. He continues to undermine

675
00:33:45,520 --> 00:33:49,400
Speaker 2: faith in US elections. Of course, do I have any

676
00:33:49,400 --> 00:33:52,720
Speaker 2: need to give the examples? Probably not. Number four, he's

677
00:33:52,760 --> 00:33:55,280
Speaker 2: trying to get the Justice Department to pay him damages.

678
00:33:56,720 --> 00:33:59,000
Speaker 2: It emerged that Trump wants the Justice Department to pay

679
00:33:59,040 --> 00:34:01,200
Speaker 2: him two hundred and thirty million dollars for damages of

680
00:34:01,320 --> 00:34:06,880
Speaker 2: malicious prosecutions and investigations. Let's bear in mind that, far

681
00:34:06,920 --> 00:34:10,200
Speaker 2: from a hoax, the investigation into Trump's links with Russia

682
00:34:10,400 --> 00:34:12,200
Speaker 2: did not exonerate him.

683
00:34:12,200 --> 00:34:15,200
Speaker 1: The article, right, oh my goodness, all right, Well.

684
00:34:15,560 --> 00:34:18,520
Speaker 2: The Mole report found Russia had interfered in the twenty

685
00:34:18,600 --> 00:34:21,360
Speaker 2: sixteen election but that there was not sufficient evidence of

686
00:34:21,400 --> 00:34:24,640
Speaker 2: conspiracy or coordination to prosecute that charge in court.

687
00:34:24,760 --> 00:34:26,640
Speaker 1: I just want to add, this is the mirror UK.

688
00:34:26,840 --> 00:34:29,759
Speaker 1: This is a guy overseas. Is this worried? Thank you

689
00:34:29,800 --> 00:34:32,040
Speaker 1: for your opinion. Maybe he's an ex pat. Maybe he's

690
00:34:32,040 --> 00:34:32,640
Speaker 1: an ex pat.

691
00:34:33,280 --> 00:34:35,680
Speaker 2: He tried to cling to He tried his best to

692
00:34:35,719 --> 00:34:40,200
Speaker 2: cling to power the last time around. Of course, after

693
00:34:40,200 --> 00:34:42,759
Speaker 2: losing the twenty twenty election to Biden, Trumped tried to

694
00:34:42,920 --> 00:34:46,160
Speaker 2: have possible avenue to cling to power. Yeah, he left,

695
00:34:46,320 --> 00:34:49,560
Speaker 2: He got up, and he moved out, and he partoned

696
00:34:49,600 --> 00:34:53,680
Speaker 2: almost everyone who took part in the coup that transpired

697
00:34:53,760 --> 00:34:54,160
Speaker 2: the coop.

698
00:34:54,280 --> 00:34:57,640
Speaker 1: Huh yes, Oh wait, there's more. He's remodeling the White

699
00:34:57,680 --> 00:34:59,040
Speaker 1: House to be.

700
00:34:59,000 --> 00:35:01,440
Speaker 2: More like mar A Lago, in a project that will

701
00:35:02,200 --> 00:35:05,439
Speaker 2: take much longer than his current term.

702
00:35:05,560 --> 00:35:08,480
Speaker 1: So apparently about that excuse is going.

703
00:35:08,280 --> 00:35:12,560
Speaker 2: To be that because the project, which will clearly not

704
00:35:12,640 --> 00:35:15,520
Speaker 2: be finished before he's supposed to leave in office in

705
00:35:15,520 --> 00:35:19,120
Speaker 2: twenty twenty nine. He's already paved over the rose Garden patio,

706
00:35:19,480 --> 00:35:23,160
Speaker 2: installed umbrellas identical to those on the terrace at mar

707
00:35:23,200 --> 00:35:26,480
Speaker 2: A Lago, and installed identical flagpoles to those that is

708
00:35:26,480 --> 00:35:29,400
Speaker 2: Florida resort. Now he's bulldozing the east wing of the

709
00:35:29,400 --> 00:35:32,080
Speaker 2: White House to replace it with the ballroom mirroring the

710
00:35:32,120 --> 00:35:33,719
Speaker 2: one he has at mar A Lago. See he's just

711
00:35:33,719 --> 00:35:34,880
Speaker 2: recreating mar A Lago at the.

712
00:35:34,880 --> 00:35:37,680
Speaker 1: White Yeah, he's never leaving, man, he's building a ballroom.

713
00:35:37,760 --> 00:35:39,440
Speaker 1: Only fascists do that.

714
00:35:39,840 --> 00:35:42,160
Speaker 2: My favorite one was the one where they showed they

715
00:35:42,160 --> 00:35:43,880
Speaker 2: showed a Russian ballroom.

716
00:35:43,520 --> 00:35:47,200
Speaker 3: Yes, Midas touch, which is a bunch of like ron

717
00:35:47,280 --> 00:35:50,759
Speaker 3: flip how you say Islawski Philipowski, Like.

718
00:35:50,719 --> 00:35:52,920
Speaker 1: It's just Trump derangement syndrome.

719
00:35:52,960 --> 00:35:56,320
Speaker 3: And they were dead serious when they showed Vladimir Putin's

720
00:35:56,440 --> 00:36:00,000
Speaker 3: like ballroom somewhere and Trump's and they're like, do you

721
00:36:00,160 --> 00:36:03,760
Speaker 3: need anymore? It's like, yes, people love ballrooms that are classic.

722
00:36:03,840 --> 00:36:07,640
Speaker 3: Like Trump is a classy guy. He's always loved like

723
00:36:07,719 --> 00:36:09,479
Speaker 3: the finer things of work. I mean, it's the whole

724
00:36:09,520 --> 00:36:12,840
Speaker 3: like golden toilet thing. And he takes so much pride

725
00:36:12,840 --> 00:36:16,320
Speaker 3: in architect and being able to leave his actual fingerprints

726
00:36:16,360 --> 00:36:19,319
Speaker 3: on the White House is probably like his lifelong dream.

727
00:36:19,360 --> 00:36:20,840
Speaker 3: And that's why he's so kiddy. He sounds like a

728
00:36:20,840 --> 00:36:23,200
Speaker 3: little kid when he talks about this stuff. And I

729
00:36:23,320 --> 00:36:25,480
Speaker 3: rolled my eyes because I don't care about any of it.

730
00:36:25,640 --> 00:36:25,799
Speaker 1: Right.

731
00:36:26,280 --> 00:36:30,480
Speaker 2: The last two reasons here, people fear that he's planning

732
00:36:30,520 --> 00:36:33,040
Speaker 2: on using the military to intimidate people voting in the

733
00:36:33,080 --> 00:36:34,240
Speaker 2: mid terms and beyond.

734
00:36:34,360 --> 00:36:36,920
Speaker 1: So people care it of Trump and they.

735
00:36:36,800 --> 00:36:40,880
Speaker 3: Are saying that over and over again. The Democrats to

736
00:36:41,239 --> 00:36:42,239
Speaker 3: cancel the elections.

737
00:36:42,320 --> 00:36:44,720
Speaker 2: Yes, And then the last one of all the reasons

738
00:36:44,760 --> 00:36:47,399
Speaker 2: why Trump is not going to leave the White House,

739
00:36:47,560 --> 00:36:51,440
Speaker 2: he's redrawing electoral maps to favor Republican candidates because Democrats

740
00:36:51,440 --> 00:36:53,319
Speaker 2: have never done that. He is right though, I mean,

741
00:36:53,320 --> 00:36:56,640
Speaker 2: the Republican controlled North Carolina House approved the new congressional

742
00:36:58,440 --> 00:37:01,400
Speaker 2: so the new map past by the state House along

743
00:37:01,440 --> 00:37:05,000
Speaker 2: party lines. The current North Carolina House delegation was made

744
00:37:05,040 --> 00:37:07,520
Speaker 2: up of ten Republicans four Democrats, and the new one

745
00:37:07,800 --> 00:37:11,040
Speaker 2: is projected to shift to eleven Republicans and three Democrats.

746
00:37:11,080 --> 00:37:12,800
Speaker 1: So take them up another victory.

747
