President Donald Trump was speaking 16 00:00:50,080 --> 00:00:53,479 Speaker 1: to a group of individuals yesterday and had this to 17 00:00:53,560 --> 00:00:54,720 Speaker 1: say in front of a crowd. 18 00:00:55,240 --> 00:00:58,560 Speaker 3: Voter id is part of homeland security. 19 00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:00,680 Speaker 4: Think of it. 20 00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:04,000 Speaker 3: We're talking about two separate items, but they're really the same. 21 00:01:04,160 --> 00:01:09,080 Speaker 3: Voter idea is part of homeland security, and citizenship proof 22 00:01:09,120 --> 00:01:12,400 Speaker 3: of citizenship is part of homeland security. 23 00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:18,360 Speaker 1: You know, you've had Democrats continuing to try to put 24 00:01:18,480 --> 00:01:25,399 Speaker 1: Republicans on record for not guaranteeing that ICE won't be 25 00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:31,760 Speaker 1: at polling places in the upcoming election, and There's a 26 00:01:31,760 --> 00:01:33,479 Speaker 1: part of me that was kind of scratching my head 27 00:01:33,480 --> 00:01:37,440 Speaker 1: over this. I'm like, Okay, I get it because of 28 00:01:37,480 --> 00:01:42,120 Speaker 1: what Democrats have done in their attempts to vilify and 29 00:01:42,160 --> 00:01:43,560 Speaker 1: demonize Ice. 30 00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:47,080 Speaker 2: And at the same time, I was thinking, well, you know, 31 00:01:47,160 --> 00:01:49,240 Speaker 2: do you. 32 00:01:48,320 --> 00:01:50,960 Speaker 1: Do we want or need ice at polling places? Why 33 00:01:51,080 --> 00:01:54,240 Speaker 1: is this an issue? And then I hear Trump make 34 00:01:54,280 --> 00:01:58,920 Speaker 1: those comments, and suddenly a new thought began to form. 35 00:01:58,680 --> 00:01:59,560 Speaker 2: Over this whole thing. 36 00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:03,800 Speaker 1: We also talked about the Scotus ruling that could in 37 00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:08,120 Speaker 1: several states take away the ability as it should, to 38 00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:12,560 Speaker 1: be able to count mailed in ballots after election day. 39 00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:13,440 Speaker 2: It's ridiculous. 40 00:02:14,880 --> 00:02:17,639 Speaker 1: It's ridiculous that we start early voting as early as 41 00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:21,560 Speaker 1: we do that suddenly now we're like in election months 42 00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:25,919 Speaker 1: and it's ridiculous that when the polls close, that all 43 00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:28,440 Speaker 1: these ballots can still flood in after the fact. 44 00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:33,880 Speaker 2: It just invites fraud. And as I said last hour, if. 45 00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:39,680 Speaker 1: Republicans are incapable of going and passing the Save America 46 00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:45,080 Speaker 1: Act one, it's going to be potentially disastrous coming up 47 00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:47,160 Speaker 1: later on this year for Republicans. Let's make no mistake 48 00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:50,400 Speaker 1: about that. Republicans are rightly going to be frustrated by 49 00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:55,760 Speaker 1: this voters, that is, if they don't use the tools 50 00:02:55,800 --> 00:02:59,960 Speaker 1: necessary to get this passed. So I'm still continuing to 51 00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:02,880 Speaker 1: pray that they do. But if they don't, Annya, I 52 00:03:02,919 --> 00:03:05,920 Speaker 1: can see a possibility of having ICE go to polling places, 53 00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:11,680 Speaker 1: specifically in those states that do not require a voter ID, 54 00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:14,360 Speaker 1: which are the only states that Kamala ended up winning 55 00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:18,320 Speaker 1: the last election. It's funny how that happens. They send 56 00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:21,800 Speaker 1: adhere to the rules. At least this might my initial 57 00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:25,840 Speaker 1: instinctive reaction to this. You send out ICE to the 58 00:03:25,880 --> 00:03:29,920 Speaker 1: polling places in those states that don't require ID to vote, 59 00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:33,120 Speaker 1: but make them adhere to the standard rules in terms 60 00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:36,720 Speaker 1: of the distance at which individuals who are not there 61 00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:39,760 Speaker 1: to go and vote need to go and stay. The 62 00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:44,720 Speaker 1: only concern would be obviously, those that aren't allowed to 63 00:03:44,760 --> 00:03:47,640 Speaker 1: go and vote voting in our elections. Have a couple 64 00:03:47,720 --> 00:03:51,160 Speaker 1: of talkbacks that rolled in regarding this from last hour 65 00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:52,400 Speaker 1: here on Twin Cities News Talk. 66 00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:56,520 Speaker 2: We'll start here. Hey, good morning, John. 67 00:03:56,640 --> 00:03:59,240 Speaker 5: I have a question, do you really think that people 68 00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:02,760 Speaker 5: would adhere to that rule or law by staying so 69 00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:05,280 Speaker 5: many feet away from the polling place If we were 70 00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:09,560 Speaker 5: to have ICE agents standing there. Techno, these people are 71 00:04:09,560 --> 00:04:11,720 Speaker 5: going to go absolutely crazy. 72 00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:14,120 Speaker 2: They're going to retell you, They're. 73 00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:18,039 Speaker 5: Going to riot, they are going to cause chaos. And 74 00:04:18,520 --> 00:04:21,400 Speaker 5: then what happens on voting day? You know what happens 75 00:04:21,440 --> 00:04:22,760 Speaker 5: to these elections done? 76 00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:25,120 Speaker 2: It's nothing until it's something. 77 00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:29,080 Speaker 1: And I don't and this isn't this comment well glib 78 00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:32,359 Speaker 1: isn't aimed at you, but that is to say that 79 00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:37,559 Speaker 1: the scenario you just laid out, I don't care. If 80 00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:43,240 Speaker 1: you have a state that doesn't require an ID to 81 00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:48,320 Speaker 1: go and vote, making them more susceptible to voter fraud 82 00:04:48,760 --> 00:04:54,880 Speaker 1: than states that do, then yeah, just have ICE there 83 00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:58,279 Speaker 1: as a presence and let the left respond how they're 84 00:04:58,279 --> 00:05:01,839 Speaker 1: going to respond if they do go and violate the 85 00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:08,080 Speaker 1: distance at which people are allowed to go and conducts 86 00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:11,520 Speaker 1: anything politically related to a polling place. If people are 87 00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:13,599 Speaker 1: going to go, if leftists, if Democrats are going to 88 00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:15,560 Speaker 1: go and violate the law, then they'll be arrested on 89 00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:15,960 Speaker 1: the spot. 90 00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:17,520 Speaker 2: Too bad. 91 00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:22,080 Speaker 1: So sad, I'll hear from a Phoe of the show, shall. 92 00:05:21,880 --> 00:05:26,880 Speaker 6: We Hey more than this?

Thanks. 102 00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:58,160 Speaker 1: So, first off, the only vote that would be stifled 103 00:05:58,400 --> 00:06:02,680 Speaker 1: would be an individual who was here illegally and shouldn't 104 00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:07,160 Speaker 1: be allowed to go in and vote. I want to 105 00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:09,800 Speaker 1: point something out, by the way, because I can see 106 00:06:09,839 --> 00:06:11,880 Speaker 1: all the talkbacks for twenty four hour I can see 107 00:06:11,880 --> 00:06:14,760 Speaker 1: all the talkbacks for all the other shows, like Eric 108 00:06:14,839 --> 00:06:18,000 Speaker 1: leaves talkbacks for other shows like Sean Hannity, like. 109 00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:20,119 Speaker 2: He's listening to the station all day long. 110 00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:25,000 Speaker 1: I mean, if that's how you want to get your 111 00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:30,520 Speaker 1: dopamine fix, I guess to each to each their own, 112 00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:31,760 Speaker 1: I suppose. 113 00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:36,320 Speaker 2: Thank you for the talkback. However, I wonder if he 114 00:06:36,360 --> 00:06:38,720 Speaker 2: made the meme. Hey, so maybe. 115 00:06:38,520 --> 00:06:40,480 Speaker 1: Eric can be the one to let me know what 116 00:06:40,520 --> 00:06:45,200 Speaker 1: the symbol is behind my I photographing the get that meme? 117 00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:46,920 Speaker 2: All right, let's go here. 118 00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:54,159 Speaker 1: An election judge in northern Minnesota's Hubbard County pleaded guilty 119 00:06:54,760 --> 00:06:58,719 Speaker 1: to a felony on Monday for allowing eleven unregistered people 120 00:06:58,760 --> 00:07:06,039 Speaker 1: to vote in November of twenty twenty four. I thought this, 121 00:07:06,200 --> 00:07:09,640 Speaker 1: I thought this didn't I thought this didn't happen just 122 00:07:10,160 --> 00:07:15,320 Speaker 1: out of curiosity. Timothy Scolton, sixty five, charged with two 123 00:07:15,320 --> 00:07:19,280 Speaker 1: counts of accepting ballots from unregistered voters and neglect of 124 00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:24,640 Speaker 1: duty in his posting at the badora, I'm saying that correctly, 125 00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:28,840 Speaker 1: township to precinct in Hubbard County. The Minnesota Secretary of 126 00:07:28,840 --> 00:07:31,520 Speaker 1: State's office said in a statement to the Minnesota Star 127 00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:36,040 Speaker 1: Tribune that the judge made a decision to disregard the 128 00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:38,640 Speaker 1: law doing that thing with my fingers, but said his 129 00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:42,440 Speaker 1: actions were caught immediately. Officials in the office said they 130 00:07:42,440 --> 00:07:46,080 Speaker 1: were unaware of any other instance of an election judge 131 00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:51,920 Speaker 1: knowingly allowing people to vote without registering. Election outcomes are 132 00:07:51,960 --> 00:07:57,520 Speaker 1: extremely rare. Election related crimes by election workers are nearly unprecedented. 133 00:07:59,080 --> 00:08:01,559 Speaker 1: You know, Speaking of memes, there's a meme going around 134 00:08:01,560 --> 00:08:05,120 Speaker 1: I saw yesterday. It's done in various versions I've even 135 00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:06,920 Speaker 1: done this meme, but the one that I saw was 136 00:08:06,960 --> 00:08:10,840 Speaker 1: a guy who was getting attacked by a squirrel, and 137 00:08:10,880 --> 00:08:13,320 Speaker 1: the caption to the meme was the odds of being 138 00:08:13,360 --> 00:08:17,559 Speaker 1: attacked by a squirrel are low, but never zero. 139 00:08:21,840 --> 00:08:22,880 Speaker 2: Just wanted to point that out. 140 00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:27,400 Speaker 1: Regarding this election judge who allowed eleven unregistered to people 141 00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:29,400 Speaker 1: to vote illegally. 142 00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:32,320 Speaker 2: Let's see now. 143 00:08:32,320 --> 00:08:34,760 Speaker 1: The judge bought back tears at the virtual court hearing 144 00:08:34,760 --> 00:08:37,679 Speaker 1: on Monday, his voice cracking as he admitted that I 145 00:08:37,720 --> 00:08:41,400 Speaker 1: allowed people to vote without proper registration. When the judge 146 00:08:41,400 --> 00:08:45,559 Speaker 1: asked him why that's a crime, he said, I was head. 147 00:08:45,400 --> 00:08:49,400 Speaker 2: Of election judge. That's a traumatization on my part. I 148 00:08:49,440 --> 00:08:50,560 Speaker 2: didn't actually hear the audio. 149 00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:54,520 Speaker 1: He is prohibited by the county from serving in that 150 00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:55,240 Speaker 1: role again. 151 00:08:56,559 --> 00:08:59,120 Speaker 2: Scouting had been trained. 152 00:08:58,760 --> 00:09:01,800 Speaker 1: Election judge in and this is a Minnesota Star tribute 153 00:09:01,840 --> 00:09:04,800 Speaker 1: story where they write, he's been trained as an election 154 00:09:04,960 --> 00:09:08,640 Speaker 1: judge in the conservative leaning Hubbard County for nearly a decade. 155 00:09:08,679 --> 00:09:10,920 Speaker 2: Why is that necessary to going point two? 156 00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:15,880 Speaker 1: His excuse was he claimed he couldn't find their registration 157 00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:20,000 Speaker 1: forms for new voters on November fifth, so because he 158 00:09:20,120 --> 00:09:23,600 Speaker 1: looked everywhere for those registration forms and simply couldn't find them. 159 00:09:23,640 --> 00:09:26,679 Speaker 2: He had no choice but to. 160 00:09:26,640 --> 00:09:30,400 Speaker 1: Go and allow these eleven people to register to vote 161 00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:33,679 Speaker 1: without the election forms, thus putting them in a position 162 00:09:33,800 --> 00:09:39,880 Speaker 1: to vote illegally. Fraud is rare, guys. The chances of 163 00:09:39,920 --> 00:09:43,160 Speaker 1: fraud are low, but never zero. I don't know about you, 164 00:09:43,160 --> 00:09:45,440 Speaker 1: but I wouldn't mind putting some laws into effect to 165 00:09:45,480 --> 00:09:48,280 Speaker 1: make sure that we keep it as close to zero 166 00:09:48,400 --> 00:09:50,400 Speaker 1: as possible. But that's just me, and I know it's 167 00:09:50,400 --> 00:09:56,200 Speaker 1: crazy talk. Friend of the show and conservative commentator online 168 00:09:56,600 --> 00:10:00,440 Speaker 1: Dustin Gregie, he hosted a video yesterday. I grabbed the audio. 169 00:10:02,120 --> 00:10:04,520 Speaker 1: It's a timeline of why we need to pass the 170 00:10:04,600 --> 00:10:07,679 Speaker 1: Save America Act. What you'll hear in this clip, and 171 00:10:07,720 --> 00:10:10,360 Speaker 1: then we'll take a quick break.

But President Donald 347 00:19:35,440 --> 00:19:38,880 Speaker 1: Trump made sure that the ICE agents aren't wearing masks 348 00:19:39,440 --> 00:19:42,960 Speaker 1: at the airports, and he had a very specific reason 349 00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:46,159 Speaker 1: why he did this, and it was really a brilliant 350 00:19:46,240 --> 00:19:49,320 Speaker 1: move on the President's part.

I don't even know what they were. 395 00:22:00,400 --> 00:22:04,080 Speaker 18: I couldn't tell, but some sort of protests against the president. 396 00:22:04,119 --> 00:22:08,000 Speaker 18: And you know what, the funniest thing is, President Trump 397 00:22:08,520 --> 00:22:12,760 Speaker 18: owns these people.

It's unfortunate, 402 00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:28,280 Speaker 1: but it's but it's true. 403 00:22:30,760 --> 00:22:33,119 Speaker 19: You know, you wouldn't even need to put agents, actual 404 00:22:33,160 --> 00:22:36,520 Speaker 19: agents at the pulling places. Just park a van with 405 00:22:36,680 --> 00:22:39,840 Speaker 19: really a black man or like a black tahoe with 406 00:22:39,960 --> 00:22:42,960 Speaker 19: blacked out windows, and put a panel truck next to 407 00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:47,480 Speaker 19: it and just let them sit there. He'd have so 408 00:22:47,560 --> 00:22:49,440 Speaker 19: many people as soon as they saw it, they'd pull 409 00:22:49,520 --> 00:22:51,240 Speaker 19: right back out of the parking lot. 410 00:22:54,119 --> 00:22:56,760 Speaker 1: To that point. Thank you for the talk back this morning. 411 00:22:58,320 --> 00:23:03,320 Speaker 1: Immigrations and Customs and for horsemen. Agents assisting at airport 412 00:23:03,440 --> 00:23:11,840 Speaker 1: security checkpoints are being asked not to wear masks. 413 00:23:12,280 --> 00:23:13,800 Speaker 2: This was a brilliant move on Trump's part. 414 00:23:13,840 --> 00:23:18,280 Speaker 1: By the way, Trump said Monday morning, is staffing shortages 415 00:23:18,560 --> 00:23:24,919 Speaker 1: strain TSA operations during the ongoing Department of Homeland Security shutdown. 416 00:23:25,359 --> 00:23:28,120 Speaker 1: He said, I'm a big proponent of ICE wearing masks 417 00:23:29,440 --> 00:23:31,560 Speaker 1: as they search for and are forced to deal with 418 00:23:31,640 --> 00:23:35,479 Speaker 1: hardened criminals, many of whom were let into our country 419 00:23:35,520 --> 00:23:39,920 Speaker 1: by sleepy Joe Biden and his wonderful borders are Kamala Harris, 420 00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:41,800 Speaker 1: and we'll talk more about that here in just a moment. 421 00:23:42,600 --> 00:23:43,960 Speaker 2: She never even went to the border. 422 00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:48,879 Speaker 1: He went on to write, through there absolutely insane open 423 00:23:48,920 --> 00:23:54,439 Speaker 1: border policy. I would appreciate, however, no masks when helping 424 00:23:54,480 --> 00:23:59,120 Speaker 1: our country out of the Democrat caused mess at the airports. 425 00:23:59,240 --> 00:24:06,880 Speaker 1: Imagine that, just for a moment, rational procedures, rational guidance, 426 00:24:07,000 --> 00:24:07,800 Speaker 1: and guidelines. 427 00:24:08,680 --> 00:24:09,120 Speaker 2: He's right. 428 00:24:09,160 --> 00:24:12,240 Speaker 1: When arrests are being made and ICE agents are on 429 00:24:12,280 --> 00:24:18,120 Speaker 1: the street at risk of being dockxed, it's a completely 430 00:24:18,119 --> 00:24:21,800 Speaker 1: different ballgame. They need to be protected. But when they're 431 00:24:21,840 --> 00:24:27,680 Speaker 1: dealing with the traveling public, no masks. Yeah, it makes 432 00:24:27,680 --> 00:24:30,960 Speaker 1: all the sense in the world. It's almost like the 433 00:24:31,000 --> 00:24:36,840 Speaker 1: president thinks about things, exercises common sense, and then moves 434 00:24:36,840 --> 00:24:40,080 Speaker 1: forward with policy based off of that. I know it's shocking. 435 00:24:41,400 --> 00:24:44,080 Speaker 1: So let's do a round of how it started and 436 00:24:44,359 --> 00:24:49,399 Speaker 1: how it's going. So how it started. You had Cory Booker. 437 00:24:51,560 --> 00:24:55,480 Speaker 1: He was at an airport, standing behind a podium. Of 438 00:24:55,560 --> 00:24:59,200 Speaker 1: course they did no shot to look at the crowd 439 00:24:59,359 --> 00:25:03,840 Speaker 1: in and of itself. Okay, and this is what he 440 00:25:03,960 --> 00:25:08,200 Speaker 1: had to say, in part to the cameras that were 441 00:25:08,400 --> 00:25:10,960 Speaker 1: watching in the what I don't know, handful of handlers 442 00:25:10,960 --> 00:25:11,680 Speaker 1: he had around him. 443 00:25:11,800 --> 00:25:12,800 Speaker 2: This is very simple. 444 00:25:13,200 --> 00:25:16,399 Speaker 20: Donald Trump needs to do two things, say yes and 445 00:25:16,480 --> 00:25:20,040 Speaker 20: pay TSA and get Ice the hell out of our 446 00:25:20,080 --> 00:25:23,160 Speaker 20: airports and stop causing this chaos in America. 447 00:25:23,359 --> 00:25:27,240 Speaker 1: No, they're not, They're actually solving the chaos. Remember Corey 448 00:25:27,240 --> 00:25:34,000 Speaker 1: Booker yesterday talking with Dana Bash, said that he was 449 00:25:34,160 --> 00:25:37,280 Speaker 1: concerned that Ice agents were going to kill somebody being 450 00:25:37,320 --> 00:25:38,160 Speaker 1: at our airports. 451 00:25:38,280 --> 00:25:41,240 Speaker 2: So here's again, here's how it started. This is very simple. 452 00:25:41,600 --> 00:25:44,800 Speaker 20: Donald Trump needs to do two things, say yes and 453 00:25:44,880 --> 00:25:48,440 Speaker 20: pay TSA and get Ice the hell out of our 454 00:25:48,480 --> 00:25:51,560 Speaker 20: airports and stop causing this chaos in America. 455 00:25:51,680 --> 00:25:53,880 Speaker 2: Well, and here's how it's going. This is CNN. 456 00:25:54,480 --> 00:25:56,480 Speaker 21: Finally we can take a deep breath here. The numbers 457 00:25:56,520 --> 00:25:59,479 Speaker 21: have dropped off. The lines are getting shorter. I think 458 00:25:59,520 --> 00:26:02,159 Speaker 21: they'll have way time now is under forty minutes. So 459 00:26:02,520 --> 00:26:04,159 Speaker 21: if you have a flight to catch today, it's a 460 00:26:04,160 --> 00:26:06,159 Speaker 21: good time to become to Hartsfield Jackson International. 461 00:26:06,359 --> 00:26:08,400 Speaker 1: And I'm pretty sure he was at the same airport 462 00:26:08,520 --> 00:26:09,320 Speaker 1: as Corey Booker. 463 00:26:09,320 --> 00:26:11,280 Speaker 2: It could be wrong on that. Here's more of how 464 00:26:11,280 --> 00:26:11,760 Speaker 2: it's going. 465 00:26:12,080 --> 00:26:18,080 Speaker 1: Montage of Fox News reporters talking with airline travelers bother anybody. 466 00:26:18,119 --> 00:26:18,600 Speaker 2: I'm okay. 467 00:26:18,640 --> 00:26:22,600 Speaker 20: I was concerned about people, so they're not bothering us. 468 00:26:22,680 --> 00:26:24,720 Speaker 2: Let's get it done. I like that they're here. 469 00:26:24,760 --> 00:26:26,959 Speaker 21: I think that it's allowing us to move and get 470 00:26:27,000 --> 00:26:27,800 Speaker 21: to where we need to go. 471 00:26:28,000 --> 00:26:29,840 Speaker 2: It's kind of scary question. 472 00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:31,440 Speaker 4: Don't know what sly ICE. 473 00:26:31,560 --> 00:26:33,160 Speaker 6: As long as they can help us move a little 474 00:26:33,160 --> 00:26:35,640 Speaker 6: bit faster, maybe they can take some of the work 475 00:26:35,680 --> 00:26:36,840 Speaker 6: off with the essay agents. 476 00:26:36,840 --> 00:26:40,200 Speaker 2: As far as you know, general security, I'm all for it. Well, 477 00:26:40,280 --> 00:26:40,880 Speaker 2: fancy that. 478 00:26:43,560 --> 00:26:47,560 Speaker 1: I shows up and the lines diminished and things returned 479 00:26:47,560 --> 00:26:51,879 Speaker 1: to normal. It's almost as if the Democrats were the 480 00:26:51,880 --> 00:27:01,560 Speaker 1: ones that were causing the chaos all along, all right. 481 00:27:01,640 --> 00:27:06,080 Speaker 1: Keeping with the theme, let's go here, Trump didn't hold 482 00:27:06,080 --> 00:27:12,080 Speaker 1: back when The Daily Wire asked him about the Loyola 483 00:27:12,320 --> 00:27:16,879 Speaker 1: murder suspect and the Biden era link. President Donald Trump 484 00:27:16,960 --> 00:27:22,080 Speaker 1: yesterday slammed the Biden administration's open door policies for releasing 485 00:27:22,119 --> 00:27:25,600 Speaker 1: an illegal immigrant who's now suspected of murdering an eighteen 486 00:27:25,680 --> 00:27:30,200 Speaker 1: year old college student, Sharedan Gorman. Trump's comments came after 487 00:27:30,240 --> 00:27:33,800 Speaker 1: a twenty five year old Jose Medina Medina, an illegal 488 00:27:33,840 --> 00:27:36,760 Speaker 1: immigrant from Venezuela, was charged with killing Gorman, a student 489 00:27:36,800 --> 00:27:40,679 Speaker 1: at Loyola University in Chicago. Authority say Medina approached Gorman 490 00:27:40,760 --> 00:27:43,960 Speaker 1: on Thursday while she was watching the northern lights near 491 00:27:44,000 --> 00:27:47,240 Speaker 1: a lakefront pier, and open fire, striking her as she 492 00:27:47,359 --> 00:27:53,359 Speaker 1: tried to flee. Trump told a Daily Wire reporter that 493 00:27:53,440 --> 00:27:57,000 Speaker 1: it's devastating. These people were let in by Biden. We're 494 00:27:57,000 --> 00:27:59,200 Speaker 1: getting them out. We're getting them out fast. This is 495 00:27:59,240 --> 00:28:02,760 Speaker 1: why isis so important. They're doing such a great job. 496 00:28:03,880 --> 00:28:06,119 Speaker 1: This animal. I saw the whole thing last night. They 497 00:28:06,119 --> 00:28:10,399 Speaker 1: gave me a briefing. Medina was released into the United 498 00:28:10,400 --> 00:28:13,520 Speaker 1: States in May of twenty twenty three. Had previously faced 499 00:28:13,520 --> 00:28:17,359 Speaker 1: his shoplifting charges. According to authorities, he was released by 500 00:28:17,400 --> 00:28:22,680 Speaker 1: local authorities following that incident. This person came in through 501 00:28:22,720 --> 00:28:25,119 Speaker 1: the open door policy of Joe Biden, and now we 502 00:28:25,160 --> 00:28:28,600 Speaker 1: are taking them out by the tens of thousands. We're 503 00:28:28,600 --> 00:28:32,439 Speaker 1: doing a great job. They've hurt our country. Now in 504 00:28:32,480 --> 00:28:36,840 Speaker 1: the midst of all this, I want to play for 505 00:28:36,880 --> 00:28:43,560 Speaker 1: you this clip. This is Chicago alder woman Maria Hadn't 506 00:28:44,000 --> 00:28:50,840 Speaker 1: talking about the Sheridan Gorman being murdered by this illegal alien. 507 00:28:51,680 --> 00:28:55,680 Speaker 1: Listen to how she explains her thoughts on what she 508 00:28:55,800 --> 00:28:56,920 Speaker 1: believed may have happened. 509 00:28:57,080 --> 00:28:58,960 Speaker 8: All the time right, and they go out on the pier, 510 00:28:59,000 --> 00:29:02,040 Speaker 8: they walk around, the kids were out doing normal, normal 511 00:29:02,080 --> 00:29:05,160 Speaker 8: things people do in the neighborhood. And it sounds like 512 00:29:05,400 --> 00:29:08,080 Speaker 8: this might have been a wrong place, wrong time, running 513 00:29:08,080 --> 00:29:10,240 Speaker 8: into a person who had a gun. They might have 514 00:29:10,360 --> 00:29:13,400 Speaker 8: startled this person at the end of the pier unintentionally. 515 00:29:15,040 --> 00:29:20,680 Speaker 1: So it's apparently, according to the Chicago alderman Maria Hadden, 516 00:29:21,400 --> 00:29:23,720 Speaker 1: a wrong place, wrong time. She might have startled the 517 00:29:23,760 --> 00:29:29,760 Speaker 1: illegal alien. It's her fault for being near them. The 518 00:29:29,800 --> 00:29:31,960 Speaker 1: family said she was walking with a group of friends 519 00:29:32,000 --> 00:29:35,240 Speaker 1: near her dorm in an area that was understood to 520 00:29:35,240 --> 00:29:38,720 Speaker 1: be safe. There was nothing reckless about her actions. What 521 00:29:38,800 --> 00:29:41,720 Speaker 1: happened to Sheridan cannot be reduced to the idea of 522 00:29:41,720 --> 00:29:43,840 Speaker 1: somebody being at the wrong place at the wrong time. 523 00:29:45,640 --> 00:29:47,840 Speaker 1: This is the loss of a daughter, the loss of 524 00:29:47,880 --> 00:29:51,360 Speaker 1: a sister, the loss of a future filled with milestones 525 00:29:51,440 --> 00:29:56,040 Speaker 1: that will now never come. Our family has forever changed. 526 00:29:56,360 --> 00:29:58,680 Speaker 1: The family added to the suspecttion have never been free 527 00:29:58,720 --> 00:30:01,520 Speaker 1: to roam the streets in the first place. Medina was 528 00:30:01,560 --> 00:30:04,200 Speaker 1: expected to appear in court yesterday to face charges for 529 00:30:04,240 --> 00:30:08,040 Speaker 1: first degree murder, attempted first degree murder, three felony accounts 530 00:30:08,040 --> 00:30:12,120 Speaker 1: of aggravated assaults, and unlawful possession of a firearm. However, 531 00:30:12,160 --> 00:30:15,280 Speaker 1: the Cook County State Attorney's office and Medina is currently 532 00:30:15,320 --> 00:30:19,400 Speaker 1: hospitalized and unable to attend the detention hearing. According to 533 00:30:19,480 --> 00:30:23,800 Speaker 1: NBC five, the Department of Homeland Security has urged Chicago 534 00:30:23,880 --> 00:30:28,840 Speaker 1: officials not to release Medina. The acting Assistant Homeland Security 535 00:30:28,880 --> 00:30:32,080 Speaker 1: Secretary Laura and Biss, said Sheridan Gormant had her whole 536 00:30:32,080 --> 00:30:34,440 Speaker 1: life ahead of her before this cold blooded killer decided 537 00:30:34,480 --> 00:30:34,920 Speaker 1: to end it. 538 00:30:35,840 --> 00:30:36,800 Speaker 2: We are calling on JB. 539 00:30:36,920 --> 00:30:41,200 Speaker 1: Pritzker and Chicago's sanctuary policies to commit to not releasing 540 00:30:41,200 --> 00:30:46,400 Speaker 1: this criminal illegal alien from jail back into our American neighborhoods. 541 00:30:46,520 --> 00:30:49,880 Speaker 1: So just so we're, you know, keeping score at home. 542 00:30:52,040 --> 00:30:59,600 Speaker 1: If you obstruct law enforcement efforts wherein their arresting individuals 543 00:30:59,640 --> 00:31:06,000 Speaker 1: with warrants for arrest, right, then apparently you're supposed to 544 00:31:06,040 --> 00:31:08,320 Speaker 1: be eligible to receive the Nobel Peace Prize. 545 00:31:09,320 --> 00:31:10,200 Speaker 2: If you happen to. 546 00:31:10,200 --> 00:31:15,760 Speaker 1: Have lost your life obstructing ice agents, then you're a 547 00:31:15,800 --> 00:31:26,840 Speaker 1: martyr worthy of murals protest signs. But if you end 548 00:31:26,920 --> 00:31:30,000 Speaker 1: up near an illegal alien with a firearm and that 549 00:31:30,120 --> 00:31:36,920 Speaker 1: illegal alien kills you, it's apparently your fault. Just wanted 550 00:31:36,920 --> 00:31:39,360 Speaker 1: to make sure that we were understanding the rules of 551 00:31:39,400 --> 00:31:43,560 Speaker 1: the radicals currently. Along with this, I want to share 552 00:31:43,600 --> 00:31:45,960 Speaker 1: this clip. This was a news Nation forum that took 553 00:31:45,960 --> 00:31:49,920 Speaker 1: place recently, being hosted by former Fox A host and 554 00:31:50,800 --> 00:31:55,720 Speaker 1: continued conservative commentator Bill O'Reilly.

Listen to a bit of what 559 00:32:11,080 --> 00:32:12,720 Speaker 1: took place during this News Nation forum. 560 00:32:13,280 --> 00:32:16,080 Speaker 7: President Trump's policies, when people want to facer or not, 561 00:32:16,520 --> 00:32:19,880 Speaker 7: is saving lives by the thousands. Under Joe Biden, a 562 00:32:19,960 --> 00:32:22,720 Speaker 7: record number of Amis died making that journey. A record 563 00:32:22,760 --> 00:32:25,640 Speaker 7: number Americans died from Fatina coming across that border. This 564 00:32:25,720 --> 00:32:28,480 Speaker 7: administration is not only enforce the law and making Ustry 565 00:32:28,560 --> 00:32:30,760 Speaker 7: safe again, They're saving thousands of blacks. 566 00:32:30,800 --> 00:32:35,000 Speaker 6: Why do you think Governor Pritzker is so adamant against 567 00:32:35,080 --> 00:32:35,920 Speaker 6: you and Ice? 568 00:32:36,080 --> 00:32:39,960 Speaker 7: Why they hate Trump more than loves the residence? Is 569 00:32:40,000 --> 00:32:42,880 Speaker 7: that simple, though, Yeah, you're telling me, I don't know, 570 00:32:43,000 --> 00:32:46,040 Speaker 7: I don't know. Yes, I think any elected mayor, any 571 00:32:46,080 --> 00:32:49,640 Speaker 7: elected governor, any elected city council person third number one 572 00:32:49,680 --> 00:32:52,280 Speaker 7: responsibility is the safety of their communities. 573 00:32:53,400 --> 00:32:56,240 Speaker 2: It is that simple, though, It really is. 574 00:32:57,280 --> 00:33:00,360 Speaker 1: They've dug their heels in in opposition to everything relating 575 00:33:00,400 --> 00:33:04,720 Speaker 1: to President Donald Trump, and in doing so, they've completely 576 00:33:04,760 --> 00:33:09,840 Speaker 1: dispensed with thinking rationally about any of these issues whatsoever. 577 00:33:12,160 --> 00:33:13,520 Speaker 1: I want to get to a few of your comments 578 00:33:13,560 --> 00:33:15,560 Speaker 1: from the iHeartRadio app. These are brought to you by 579 00:33:15,920 --> 00:33:19,600 Speaker 1: Lindahl Realty to the issue of having ice agents at 580 00:33:19,640 --> 00:33:23,320 Speaker 1: polling places in states. 581 00:33:22,920 --> 00:33:25,160 Speaker 2: That don't require an ID to go and vote. 582 00:33:26,560 --> 00:33:28,959 Speaker 19: You know, you wouldn't even need to put agents, actual 583 00:33:28,960 --> 00:33:30,560 Speaker 19: agents at the polling places. 584 00:33:31,160 --> 00:33:35,160 Speaker 2: Just park ave in with Oh my apologies, I got 585 00:33:35,200 --> 00:33:36,280 Speaker 2: stopped there. I'm interesting him. 586 00:33:36,280 --> 00:33:38,600 Speaker 19: You know, you wouldn't even need to put agents, actual 587 00:33:38,640 --> 00:33:42,040 Speaker 19: agents at the polling places. Just park a van with 588 00:33:42,200 --> 00:33:45,320 Speaker 19: really a black man or like a black tahoe with 589 00:33:45,440 --> 00:33:48,440 Speaker 19: blacked out windows, and put a panel truck next to 590 00:33:48,480 --> 00:33:53,000 Speaker 19: it and just let them sit there. He'd have so 591 00:33:53,040 --> 00:33:54,920 Speaker 19: many people as soon as they saw it, they'd pull 592 00:33:55,000 --> 00:33:56,360 Speaker 19: right back out of the parking lot. 593 00:33:56,440 --> 00:33:57,920 Speaker 2: Oh, you're one hundred percent correct. 594 00:33:57,960 --> 00:34:00,440 Speaker 1: I've never understood, and I know there have been some 595 00:34:00,960 --> 00:34:03,400 Speaker 1: law enforcement agencies around the country that have done this, 596 00:34:04,320 --> 00:34:07,080 Speaker 1: but I've never understood why law enforcement doesn't deploy this 597 00:34:07,160 --> 00:34:10,960 Speaker 1: type of tactic more often. Just put a parked squad 598 00:34:11,040 --> 00:34:13,640 Speaker 1: car on the side of the road in an area 599 00:34:13,840 --> 00:34:18,000 Speaker 1: where it's prone for red lights being run, stop signs 600 00:34:18,080 --> 00:34:20,040 Speaker 1: being run, or just speeding in general, and you can 601 00:34:20,080 --> 00:34:22,759 Speaker 1: watch it all drop. Certainly more effective than just the 602 00:34:22,840 --> 00:34:25,160 Speaker 1: signs that show your speed. I mean those are effective too, 603 00:34:25,200 --> 00:34:27,440 Speaker 1: but you just seed the Presidence of law Enforcement and 604 00:34:28,040 --> 00:34:30,200 Speaker 1: friend of the show, Sean wasn't the only one that 605 00:34:30,560 --> 00:34:31,280 Speaker 1: had this idea. 606 00:34:32,160 --> 00:34:35,239 Speaker 14: I had the money, I would go and rent five 607 00:34:35,320 --> 00:34:37,480 Speaker 14: hundred black escalade. 608 00:34:37,000 --> 00:34:39,240 Speaker 4: With hinted windows, and I would put them in every 609 00:34:39,400 --> 00:34:43,319 Speaker 4: voting station in Saint paulam Minneapolis. That is a very 610 00:34:43,440 --> 00:34:44,800 Speaker 4: very good marketing idea. 611 00:34:44,840 --> 00:34:47,600 Speaker 2: Whoever brought that up. Yeah, it's brilliant, Absolutely brilliant. 612 00:34:48,800 --> 00:34:53,640 Speaker 6: Good morning, John Coach Corey Well, I said the airports. 613 00:34:53,760 --> 00:34:56,479 Speaker 10: I find it a very good thing, and I find 614 00:34:56,520 --> 00:34:58,640 Speaker 10: it a good thing for them not to be masked. 615 00:35:00,200 --> 00:35:02,080 Speaker 2: Public doesn't get to. 616 00:35:01,960 --> 00:35:04,359 Speaker 12: See any of ICE except for the. 617 00:35:04,400 --> 00:35:08,600 Speaker 2: Chaos they witness on their liberal TV. They get to 618 00:35:08,880 --> 00:35:10,560 Speaker 2: actually see ICE as. 619 00:35:10,520 --> 00:35:16,200 Speaker 6: People doing a job in helping the American public. That's 620 00:35:16,200 --> 00:35:16,759 Speaker 6: a good thing. 621 00:35:16,960 --> 00:35:18,040 Speaker 2: Yeah, No, it's a great thing. 622 00:35:18,080 --> 00:35:21,600 Speaker 1: And I think it was an absolutely brilliant move on 623 00:35:21,800 --> 00:35:25,080 Speaker 1: President Donald Trump's part to do that. 624 00:35:25,160 --> 00:35:26,040 Speaker 2: And it makes sense. 625 00:35:27,000 --> 00:35:29,359 Speaker 1: You're dealing with the public, you're on a more You're 626 00:35:29,600 --> 00:35:34,560 Speaker 1: you're actually supposed to be engaging with the public in 627 00:35:34,600 --> 00:35:39,799 Speaker 1: conducting these operations. You're dressed as ICE agents. But it's 628 00:35:39,840 --> 00:35:44,840 Speaker 1: already one removed the ability of the radical leftists to 629 00:35:44,920 --> 00:35:47,760 Speaker 1: go and use it as a criticism. So you've taken 630 00:35:47,800 --> 00:35:51,600 Speaker 1: that away from them, and now you already have evidence 631 00:35:51,640 --> 00:35:53,799 Speaker 1: of the reduced weight times of them helping. No, it 632 00:35:53,840 --> 00:35:56,600 Speaker 1: was a great move. It was an incredibly rational move, 633 00:35:56,719 --> 00:35:59,799 Speaker 1: so good on their part. All right, coming up, as 634 00:35:59,840 --> 00:36:02,759 Speaker 1: i'm we're going to be talking with Representative Brandon Gill. 635 00:36:03,200 --> 00:36:05,040 Speaker 1: He of course was a part of the House Committee 636 00:36:05,040 --> 00:36:08,960 Speaker 1: on Oversight and Government Reform, the hearing Oversight of Fraud 637 00:36:08,960 --> 00:36:12,000 Speaker 1: and Misuse of Federal Funds in Minnesota. We'll talk to 638 00:36:12,080 --> 00:36:15,960 Speaker 1: him about the time that he had in grilling Governor 639 00:36:15,960 --> 00:36:19,640 Speaker 1: Tim Walls, and Keith Elison will get his thoughts on 640 00:36:20,239 --> 00:36:21,399 Speaker 1: TSA as well. 641 00:36:21,440 --> 00:36:22,160 Speaker 2: He'll be joining us. 642 00:36:22,200 --> 00:36:24,600 Speaker 1: Just after the top of the hour, there was speaking 643 00:36:24,600 --> 00:36:29,120 Speaker 1: of fraud, a House Fraud Committee in Saint Paul hearing 644 00:36:29,160 --> 00:36:34,960 Speaker 1: testimony about the millions in cash passing through MSP airport. 645 00:36:35,760 --> 00:36:38,279 Speaker 1: Working off a version of the story here from Channel five. 646 00:36:38,280 --> 00:36:41,160 Speaker 1: They're called international remittances. We've talked about this before on 647 00:36:41,200 --> 00:36:44,800 Speaker 1: the show. Money wired or personally carried to foreign countries 648 00:36:44,840 --> 00:36:47,319 Speaker 1: by people who live in the United States but want 649 00:36:47,320 --> 00:36:49,799 Speaker 1: to send money to their home country. The chair of 650 00:36:49,840 --> 00:36:52,799 Speaker 1: the House Fraud and Prevention State Oversite committee says the 651 00:36:52,800 --> 00:36:56,960 Speaker 1: amount of money in cash passing through MSP has risen 652 00:36:57,040 --> 00:37:00,279 Speaker 1: dramatically over the past twenty five years. I have a 653 00:37:00,280 --> 00:37:04,960 Speaker 1: couple of clips from a goubernatorial candidate and Representative. 654 00:37:05,800 --> 00:37:07,680 Speaker 2: Kristin Robbins, on this very issue. 655 00:37:07,719 --> 00:37:12,640 Speaker 1: She posted this recap from that hearing yesterday that took 656 00:37:12,680 --> 00:37:13,600 Speaker 1: place in Saint Paul. 657 00:37:13,800 --> 00:37:17,600 Speaker 11: Tsa flagged in January that our airport has ninety nine 658 00:37:17,640 --> 00:37:21,160 Speaker 11: percent more cash flying out of the country than any 659 00:37:21,200 --> 00:37:27,719 Speaker 11: other airport in the country, including much larger airports like JFK, Chicago, O'Hare, Lax, 660 00:37:27,719 --> 00:37:31,000 Speaker 11: et cetera. So the question is why is Minneapolis such 661 00:37:31,040 --> 00:37:34,800 Speaker 11: an outlier. In twenty twenty four, we had three hundred 662 00:37:34,800 --> 00:37:37,719 Speaker 11: and forty three million leavar airport. In twenty twenty five 663 00:37:37,760 --> 00:37:40,920 Speaker 11: it was three hundred and fifty million dollars. This is 664 00:37:40,960 --> 00:37:44,320 Speaker 11: an astronomical mount. As I said, ninety nine percent higher 665 00:37:44,480 --> 00:37:46,120 Speaker 11: than cash leaving any other airport. 666 00:37:46,520 --> 00:37:47,640 Speaker 4: So what is going on? 667 00:37:47,760 --> 00:37:49,440 Speaker 11: I hear this from the public all the time, and 668 00:37:49,480 --> 00:37:52,040 Speaker 11: a lot of people think it's a state responsibility. But 669 00:37:52,160 --> 00:37:56,600 Speaker 11: as was testified, the Minneapolis Airport Police have limited jurisdiction. 670 00:37:56,800 --> 00:37:59,600 Speaker 11: Their jurisdiction is about law and order, at the airport. 671 00:38:00,040 --> 00:38:01,600 Speaker 4: When cash leaves the airport and. 672 00:38:01,560 --> 00:38:05,280 Speaker 11: Goes overseas, it's really the purview of the border Patrol 673 00:38:05,440 --> 00:38:09,080 Speaker 11: because the airport is actually a port, and it's also 674 00:38:09,280 --> 00:38:12,920 Speaker 11: then subject to regulation by the Department of Treasury using 675 00:38:12,920 --> 00:38:16,520 Speaker 11: a form called Finsen one oh five. So as long 676 00:38:16,560 --> 00:38:20,400 Speaker 11: as someone fills out this form within seventy two hours 677 00:38:20,400 --> 00:38:21,040 Speaker 11: of when they. 678 00:38:20,960 --> 00:38:24,040 Speaker 4: Leave, then they can take. 679 00:38:24,000 --> 00:38:27,880 Speaker 11: Lethally as much money as they want millions of dollars, 680 00:38:27,920 --> 00:38:30,520 Speaker 11: which is happening every day out of the country. 681 00:38:31,000 --> 00:38:32,560 Speaker 4: And it's so important, as. 682 00:38:32,440 --> 00:38:34,920 Speaker 11: We highlight it in the committee, to stop this on 683 00:38:34,960 --> 00:38:36,640 Speaker 11: the front end because by the time they get it 684 00:38:36,640 --> 00:38:40,399 Speaker 11: in stacks, it's wrapped stacks of cash from banks. By 685 00:38:40,400 --> 00:38:42,520 Speaker 11: the time it comes out of their account in wrap 686 00:38:42,600 --> 00:38:46,799 Speaker 11: stacks of cash, we can't really stop it because it's 687 00:38:46,800 --> 00:38:49,960 Speaker 11: technically theirs. We have to tie it to money laundering 688 00:38:49,960 --> 00:38:53,239 Speaker 11: on the front end. With terrific testimony from a whistleblower 689 00:38:53,239 --> 00:38:56,919 Speaker 11: from DHS who first plagued this a decade or more ago, 690 00:38:57,360 --> 00:39:01,200 Speaker 11: seeing a childcare fraud and seeing money going out of 691 00:39:01,200 --> 00:39:03,680 Speaker 11: the country like they would get a payment. He testified 692 00:39:03,680 --> 00:39:05,880 Speaker 11: they would get a payment from DHS at three in 693 00:39:05,880 --> 00:39:08,840 Speaker 11: the morning, and that money would immediately be pinged to 694 00:39:09,480 --> 00:39:14,560 Speaker 11: multiple dozens of accounts overseas within the first few minutes 695 00:39:14,600 --> 00:39:16,960 Speaker 11: of getting that money deposited in their banks, so they 696 00:39:17,040 --> 00:39:20,040 Speaker 11: knew that this was happening, and that was before so 697 00:39:20,120 --> 00:39:25,040 Speaker 11: that's when banks actually worked with these accounts from the 698 00:39:25,080 --> 00:39:29,840 Speaker 11: Somali business providers. But then because some convictions for childcare 699 00:39:29,920 --> 00:39:33,439 Speaker 11: fraud happened, the banks stopped working with them, and that's 700 00:39:33,440 --> 00:39:35,880 Speaker 11: when they moved to the cash system, using the j 701 00:39:35,960 --> 00:39:40,160 Speaker 11: walas to transfer literally stacks of bank wrap notes one 702 00:39:40,239 --> 00:39:43,160 Speaker 11: hundred dollars bills. We've heard from testimony out of the 703 00:39:43,200 --> 00:39:46,600 Speaker 11: country in suitcases, and that has been going on four years. 704 00:39:47,040 --> 00:39:49,359 Speaker 11: Back in twenty twenty there was a Star Tribune article 705 00:39:49,440 --> 00:39:51,840 Speaker 11: that said it was seventy five million. Now it is 706 00:39:51,920 --> 00:39:55,719 Speaker 11: up to three hundred and fifty million in twenty twenty five. 707 00:39:56,080 --> 00:39:58,719 Speaker 4: This is a real time problem we have to address. 708 00:39:59,160 --> 00:40:01,840 Speaker 1: The chief of the Metro Pauls and Airport Police Department 709 00:40:01,920 --> 00:40:04,560 Speaker 1: said they are aware of all the cash passing through 710 00:40:04,600 --> 00:40:07,200 Speaker 1: the airport, but said it's up to the federal government 711 00:40:07,200 --> 00:40:10,960 Speaker 1: to monitor. The federal government generally requires any cash over 712 00:40:11,000 --> 00:40:13,880 Speaker 1: ten thousand dollars to be accompanied by a federal form. However, 713 00:40:14,320 --> 00:40:17,920 Speaker 1: after allegations of widespread fraud and money going to Somalia, 714 00:40:18,200 --> 00:40:22,480 Speaker 1: the US Treasury Department lowered that threshold to three thousand 715 00:40:22,600 --> 00:40:27,719 Speaker 1: for cash at MSP. Here's a little bit more of 716 00:40:27,760 --> 00:40:31,360 Speaker 1: what Kristin Robbins had to say in recapping that House 717 00:40:31,719 --> 00:40:35,640 Speaker 1: Fraud Committee hearing the testimony about the millions in cash 718 00:40:35,680 --> 00:40:38,520 Speaker 1: passing through MSP, Maybe we do need ice agents at 719 00:40:38,520 --> 00:40:39,160 Speaker 1: our airport. 720 00:40:39,520 --> 00:40:40,840 Speaker 2: Let me to stop this from happening. 721 00:40:41,120 --> 00:40:44,080 Speaker 11: We also had great testimony from a retired TSA agent 722 00:40:44,080 --> 00:40:46,920 Speaker 11: who really highlighted flaw in the system. She said that 723 00:40:46,960 --> 00:40:49,200 Speaker 11: when a suitcase of cash goes through the airport and 724 00:40:49,239 --> 00:40:52,399 Speaker 11: gets flagged in the screening, they are told to take 725 00:40:52,480 --> 00:40:56,120 Speaker 11: that person who's the courier with the suitcase of cash 726 00:40:56,200 --> 00:40:59,160 Speaker 11: into a private room where they look through the suitcase 727 00:40:59,400 --> 00:41:02,560 Speaker 11: to deter that there's nothing else in the suitcase like 728 00:41:02,680 --> 00:41:07,200 Speaker 11: drugs or guns. But they don't actually count the money. 729 00:41:07,400 --> 00:41:09,520 Speaker 11: So even though it looks like wrapped stacks of one 730 00:41:09,600 --> 00:41:12,560 Speaker 11: hundred dollar bills on the surface, they don't actually go 731 00:41:12,680 --> 00:41:14,759 Speaker 11: through encountment to know that either are. 732 00:41:14,680 --> 00:41:15,680 Speaker 4: All one hundred dollar bills. 733 00:41:15,680 --> 00:41:19,000 Speaker 11: Maybe they're higher denominations under the stack or be how 734 00:41:19,000 --> 00:41:20,000 Speaker 11: many stacks there are. 735 00:41:20,040 --> 00:41:21,200 Speaker 4: They just kind of eyeball it. 736 00:41:21,600 --> 00:41:24,200 Speaker 11: And they also don't track it with the fin sent 737 00:41:24,400 --> 00:41:27,239 Speaker 11: form that's tied to it. So if someone submitted a 738 00:41:27,239 --> 00:41:30,600 Speaker 11: fin send form one oh five seventy two hours earlier, 739 00:41:31,000 --> 00:41:34,160 Speaker 11: they don't verify the identity of these couriers and where 740 00:41:34,200 --> 00:41:36,360 Speaker 11: this money is going tied to that form. 741 00:41:36,760 --> 00:41:38,720 Speaker 4: So these are some important things we learned. 742 00:41:38,600 --> 00:41:40,760 Speaker 11: Today that we need to talk to our federal partners 743 00:41:40,760 --> 00:41:43,200 Speaker 11: about at Treasury and ask them to tighten this up 744 00:41:43,239 --> 00:41:45,719 Speaker 11: because it is their jurisdiction, but we need to get 745 00:41:45,800 --> 00:41:47,080 Speaker 11: much tighter control. 746 00:41:46,760 --> 00:41:49,719 Speaker 4: On that, and we need to know verify how. 747 00:41:49,680 --> 00:41:52,800 Speaker 11: Much money is in these suitcases, verified that the people 748 00:41:52,800 --> 00:41:55,160 Speaker 11: who filled out the form are the ones actually currying 749 00:41:55,200 --> 00:41:57,440 Speaker 11: the money. And then we need to stop frout on 750 00:41:57,480 --> 00:41:59,359 Speaker 11: the front end, as I talked about earlier, to make 751 00:41:59,360 --> 00:42:03,920 Speaker 11: sure that be for money it's laundered and taxpayer money 752 00:42:04,040 --> 00:42:07,520 Speaker 11: goes overseas, that we stop it here. And that's really 753 00:42:07,560 --> 00:42:12,720 Speaker 11: the responsibility of DHS, the Attorney General, the Minnesota Financial 754 00:42:12,719 --> 00:42:16,279 Speaker 11: Crimes Task Force, and unfortunately the Minnesota Financial Crimes Task 755 00:42:16,320 --> 00:42:22,480 Speaker 11: Force has mostly been focused on identity theft and consumer fraud. 756 00:42:22,600 --> 00:42:24,120 Speaker 2: And let me stop this here. 757 00:42:25,960 --> 00:42:28,640 Speaker 1: What I get most frustrated by is that this is 758 00:42:28,680 --> 00:42:32,760 Speaker 1: all avoidable. So much of what we're dealing with, whether 759 00:42:32,800 --> 00:42:37,279 Speaker 1: it's the concern of what gubernatorial candidate Christin Robbins was 760 00:42:37,360 --> 00:42:40,280 Speaker 1: mentioning there again, she chairs the fraud Committee in Saint Paul, 761 00:42:41,360 --> 00:42:44,719 Speaker 1: the fraud here in Minnesota. If you had leadership that 762 00:42:44,760 --> 00:42:47,640 Speaker 1: actually cared about doing something stopping in on the front 763 00:42:47,800 --> 00:42:53,880 Speaker 1: end showed any level of curiosity whatsoever, regardless of the 764 00:42:53,920 --> 00:42:56,600 Speaker 1: political outcome, we wouldn't be dealing with any of this. 765 00:42:58,040 --> 00:43:02,719 Speaker 1: But that's not the case. Politics is involved. Partisan politics 766 00:43:02,800 --> 00:43:05,880 Speaker 1: is involved. Turning a blind eye happens too often, a 767 00:43:06,000 --> 00:43:10,040 Speaker 1: lack of just a simple lack of concern and curiosity 768 00:43:10,080 --> 00:43:13,719 Speaker 1: to look into these issues. Thankfully, the federal government has 769 00:43:13,760 --> 00:43:15,520 Speaker 1: been looking into it. There was a hearing that took 770 00:43:15,520 --> 00:43:18,800 Speaker 1: place a couple of weeks ago, Keith Ellison and Governor 771 00:43:18,840 --> 00:43:22,919 Speaker 1: Tim Walls force to go and testify up on Capitol Hill. 772 00:43:22,960 --> 00:43:26,200 Speaker 1: One of the individuals who made the most waves regarding 773 00:43:26,800 --> 00:43:31,160 Speaker 1: these exchanges was Representative Brandon Gill. He's going to join 774 00:43:31,280 --> 00:43:34,239 Speaker 1: us next here on Twin City's News Talk, and here's 775 00:43:34,280 --> 00:43:38,920 Speaker 1: a little bit of what Gil had exchanged with Governor 776 00:43:38,920 --> 00:43:40,920 Speaker 1: Tim Walls during that hearing, and we'll speak to him 777 00:43:40,960 --> 00:43:42,880 Speaker 1: next here on Twin Cities News Talk. 778 00:43:43,080 --> 00:43:45,880 Speaker 16: Would you also agree that calling somebody racist is a 779 00:43:46,000 --> 00:43:47,600 Speaker 16: serious accusation. 780 00:43:48,719 --> 00:43:51,160 Speaker 2: If they are racist? I think I'm asking. 781 00:43:50,920 --> 00:43:54,200 Speaker 16: You if is that a serious accusation to make about somebody? 782 00:43:56,360 --> 00:43:58,960 Speaker 2: I think it's just an observation of reality. All right, 783 00:43:59,000 --> 00:44:00,000 Speaker 2: well let's go there. 784 00:44:00,040 --> 00:44:03,560 Speaker 16: Is it racist for a government official do identify fraud? 785 00:44:04,600 --> 00:44:05,600 Speaker 2: No? 786 00:44:05,600 --> 00:44:05,680 Speaker 4: No? 787 00:44:05,960 --> 00:44:11,160 Speaker 2: Is it islamophobic? Do identify fraud? To identify fraud? I? No, 788 00:44:11,239 --> 00:44:12,400 Speaker 2: I don't believe it would be. 789 00:44:12,880 --> 00:44:15,920 Speaker 16: How can multiple whistleblowers have said that your administration told 790 00:44:16,000 --> 00:44:19,640 Speaker 16: them not to say anything about widespread fraud across multiple 791 00:44:19,640 --> 00:44:23,960 Speaker 16: agencies because doing so would be considered racist or islamophobic. 792 00:44:24,440 --> 00:44:26,440 Speaker 2: I can't speak to it because it's not anything I 793 00:44:26,480 --> 00:44:27,000 Speaker 2: would say. 794 00:44:27,440 --> 00:44:31,360 Speaker 16: Well, that's what your administration has said and has told whistleblowers. 795 00:44:31,360 --> 00:44:34,040 Speaker 16: And as you just testified, the bucks stops with you. 796 00:44:34,360 --> 00:44:34,920 Speaker 2: That's what you. 797 00:44:34,880 --> 00:44:37,640 Speaker 16: Stated in your in your statement whenever you announced you 798 00:44:37,680 --> 00:44:38,479 Speaker 16: weren't running again. 799 00:44:39,840 --> 00:44:44,040 Speaker 7: And that's how the story a Fluffalo ends with a 800 00:44:44,120 --> 00:44:48,600 Speaker 7: happy old buffalo snuggling his brand
