1 00:00:03,560 --> 00:00:06,720 Speaker 1: Our two for a Tuesday twin Cities news Talk Am 2 00:00:06,760 --> 00:00:09,400 Speaker 1: eleven thirty and one oh three five FM. I'm looking 3 00:00:09,440 --> 00:00:13,960 Speaker 1: at the headlines right now. Fox News alert top Iranian 4 00:00:14,160 --> 00:00:17,799 Speaker 1: official killed in strike according to Israel. It seems like 5 00:00:17,800 --> 00:00:23,560 Speaker 1: it's an evergreen statement. With the ongoing Operation Epic Fury, 6 00:00:25,520 --> 00:00:28,920 Speaker 1: we're going to tom President Donald Trump and his plans 7 00:00:28,960 --> 00:00:35,400 Speaker 1: to tackle fraud more broadly, is describing this as a 8 00:00:35,440 --> 00:00:39,040 Speaker 1: whole of government approach to fraud. I want to give 9 00:00:39,040 --> 00:00:43,040 Speaker 1: you some further examples because this is necessary and not 10 00:00:43,159 --> 00:00:48,040 Speaker 1: just in the ways that we have seen the fraud 11 00:00:48,080 --> 00:00:53,080 Speaker 1: be committed here in Minnesota, but it really it's looking 12 00:00:53,200 --> 00:00:58,440 Speaker 1: like every sector of our society wherein there's a possibility 13 00:00:59,120 --> 00:01:05,680 Speaker 1: to conduct the he's fraudulent acts, including in our healthcare industry. 14 00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:07,800 Speaker 1: It's happening. I'll give you some examples of this in 15 00:01:08,319 --> 00:01:10,840 Speaker 1: just a moment before we do, though. This is a 16 00:01:10,840 --> 00:01:15,039 Speaker 1: clip yesterday. This was during the same news conference with 17 00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:19,360 Speaker 1: Vice President jd Vance wherein President Donald Trump was talking 18 00:01:19,360 --> 00:01:23,040 Speaker 1: about this task force. Prior to that, they were discussing 19 00:01:23,440 --> 00:01:29,360 Speaker 1: Operation Epic Fury getting the Strait of Ormuz under control. 20 00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:32,800 Speaker 1: Another example of how President Donald Trump does not get 21 00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:36,360 Speaker 1: nearly enough credit for his sense of humor. 22 00:01:36,959 --> 00:01:38,399 Speaker 2: Here on Twin City's News Talk. 23 00:01:38,480 --> 00:01:42,520 Speaker 3: French President mco about the coalition to reopen the Strait 24 00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:43,160 Speaker 3: off horms. 25 00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:48,480 Speaker 4: Yeah, I have spoken to him. He's been on a 26 00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:50,440 Speaker 4: scale of zero to ten. 27 00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:57,280 Speaker 2: I'd say he's been an eight. Not perfect, but as friends. 28 00:01:58,280 --> 00:02:03,320 Speaker 5: You expect perfect that friends will help with the reopening 29 00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:04,960 Speaker 5: of straight off homers. 30 00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:08,520 Speaker 4: Yeah, I've been sure he's gonna I think he's gonna help. 31 00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:11,320 Speaker 2: I mean, I'll let you know. I spoke to him yesterday. 32 00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:16,680 Speaker 4: I don't do a hard sell on them. 33 00:02:16,919 --> 00:02:18,720 Speaker 1: By the way, this came out yesterday, and then we'll 34 00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:24,000 Speaker 1: move over to fraud. The federal workforce shrank by a 35 00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:27,240 Speaker 1: little bit more than ten percent during the first year 36 00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:29,680 Speaker 1: of Donald Trump's second term in the White House. The 37 00:02:29,720 --> 00:02:32,200 Speaker 1: decline came as more than three hundred and forty eight 38 00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:38,840 Speaker 1: thousand federal employees quit, retired, or were laid off or 39 00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:42,000 Speaker 1: otherwise left government service last year as eighty point to 40 00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:45,960 Speaker 1: eight to an eighty point eight percent increased from twenty 41 00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:48,920 Speaker 1: twenty four. I want to know how many of those 42 00:02:48,919 --> 00:02:53,799 Speaker 1: individuals quit just because of Trumps arrangements, indrome, just because 43 00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:56,960 Speaker 1: they could not work for the federal government under President 44 00:02:57,000 --> 00:02:57,640 Speaker 1: Donald Trump. 45 00:02:58,200 --> 00:02:59,239 Speaker 2: That's the number that I want. 46 00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:00,480 Speaker 6: Now. 47 00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:02,360 Speaker 1: At the same time, only about one hundred and sixteen 48 00:03:02,760 --> 00:03:05,040 Speaker 1: nine hundred people were hired. That was a fifty five 49 00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:09,000 Speaker 1: point six percent drop from the previous year. The workforce 50 00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:12,760 Speaker 1: reductions largely hit white collar positions those make up the 51 00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:16,400 Speaker 1: overwhelming majority of the federal jobs. Employment in white collar 52 00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:19,760 Speaker 1: roles declined ten point six percent, compared with six point 53 00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:24,640 Speaker 1: seven reduction among blue collar workers. Administrative information and budget 54 00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:28,840 Speaker 1: related positions were among those seeing the largest decreases. At 55 00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:34,320 Speaker 1: the same time, enforcement related roles tied to border security, 56 00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:36,280 Speaker 1: those roles actually went and increased. 57 00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:37,600 Speaker 6: Oh hell yeah. 58 00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:41,200 Speaker 1: Now to that point, I want to get you updated 59 00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:45,360 Speaker 1: on something that local media has been ignoring, and more 60 00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:48,200 Speaker 1: specifically Democrats have been ignoring, which I find really interesting. 61 00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:52,440 Speaker 1: Today is the day that the temporary protected status for 62 00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:58,760 Speaker 1: Somali immigrants using that visa was set to expire. But 63 00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:00,680 Speaker 1: there's a wrinkle in this whole thing. Then I'll share 64 00:04:00,680 --> 00:04:02,000 Speaker 1: with you coming up in a little bit here on 65 00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:05,360 Speaker 1: Twin Cities, Newstock, So stick around for that. Officials say 66 00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:08,440 Speaker 1: the goal regarding the workforce reduction at the federal level, 67 00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:12,080 Speaker 1: the goal is a leaner government that answers more directly 68 00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:17,640 Speaker 1: to elected leaders while reducing spending and bureaucratic inefficiency. At 69 00:04:17,640 --> 00:04:20,800 Speaker 1: the same time, the administration has begun selectively hiring in 70 00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:24,360 Speaker 1: key areas such as healthcare, technology, program management as it 71 00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:28,680 Speaker 1: transitions from rapid cuts toward rebuilding parts of the workforce. 72 00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:32,919 Speaker 1: Even with the renewed hiring, however, the federal government remains 73 00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:36,400 Speaker 1: far smaller than when Trump returned to office, and that shift, 74 00:04:36,760 --> 00:04:40,719 Speaker 1: supporters say fulfills the president's campaign pledge to rein in 75 00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:45,400 Speaker 1: Washington's sprawling bureaucracy and return power to the taxpayers and 76 00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:49,600 Speaker 1: the states. I mean and hopefully this results in a streamlined, 77 00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:57,840 Speaker 1: focused effort on these issues, such as tackling fraud, because 78 00:04:57,880 --> 00:04:59,640 Speaker 1: I don't care how many people you have. You need 79 00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:01,120 Speaker 1: to have the empowered to go and deal with it. 80 00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:03,440 Speaker 1: But you also want to be dealing with individuals and 81 00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:06,599 Speaker 1: are aren't going to get in your way of going 82 00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:10,680 Speaker 1: and trying to reign in the fraud. And sometimes the 83 00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:14,840 Speaker 1: streamlined approach is a better approach to go in and take. 84 00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:16,880 Speaker 1: Now to that point, I had a friend of the 85 00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:23,880 Speaker 1: show who sent me these yesterday. A Phoenix based to 86 00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:28,880 Speaker 1: cardiology practice. Three of its cardiologists have agreed to pay 87 00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:32,640 Speaker 1: four point seventy five million to resolve allegations that they 88 00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:40,560 Speaker 1: performed medically unnecessary ablationan procedures. Tri City Cardiology and three 89 00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:45,400 Speaker 1: different employees were accused of violating the false Claims to 90 00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:50,560 Speaker 1: Act by performing ablations on perforator veins that did not 91 00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:56,840 Speaker 1: qualify for treatment under accepted standards of medical practice. Now, 92 00:05:56,880 --> 00:06:00,360 Speaker 1: these veins do sometimes require the treatment, but the JAY 93 00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:07,320 Speaker 1: said the physicians allegedly collected incorrect measurements on purpose and 94 00:06:07,360 --> 00:06:13,320 Speaker 1: then falsified medical records to then justify performing the oblations. 95 00:06:13,400 --> 00:06:15,840 Speaker 1: And this is where the Lonely Highway theory comes into 96 00:06:15,839 --> 00:06:19,720 Speaker 1: my mind, because I have another example that I'll share 97 00:06:19,760 --> 00:06:23,200 Speaker 1: with you in just a moment of another fraud scheme 98 00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:29,320 Speaker 1: involving vascular imaging. Obviously, this is very close to my 99 00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:32,800 Speaker 1: world and what I deal with and getting imaging every 100 00:06:32,839 --> 00:06:36,200 Speaker 1: single year, and questions that I've had with my wife 101 00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:42,080 Speaker 1: Melinda over this and trusting are medical providers to not 102 00:06:42,160 --> 00:06:45,000 Speaker 1: go and take advantage. You see stories like this and 103 00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:51,080 Speaker 1: you go where else is this happening? Timothy Corcheing, US 104 00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:54,880 Speaker 1: Attorney for the District of Arizona said, paying for unnecessary 105 00:06:54,920 --> 00:06:59,000 Speaker 1: medical procedures reduces federal program's capacity to pay for truly 106 00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:03,240 Speaker 1: necessary procedure. When medical providers do not respect the difference 107 00:07:03,279 --> 00:07:07,479 Speaker 1: between the two and a bill in the interest of 108 00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:11,360 Speaker 1: their own bottom line instead of their patients, the US 109 00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:13,760 Speaker 1: Attorney's Office is pursued and will continue to pursue the 110 00:07:13,760 --> 00:07:16,520 Speaker 1: appropriate recoveries to protect taxpayer funds. 111 00:07:16,520 --> 00:07:17,440 Speaker 2: It's also interesting to. 112 00:07:17,360 --> 00:07:18,920 Speaker 1: Me too that looking to get money back, because that's 113 00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:21,560 Speaker 1: the same thing with this other story regarding the imaging, 114 00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:27,040 Speaker 1: which makes me wonder, like many of you have that 115 00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:29,160 Speaker 1: have reached out to me here on Twin City's Newstalk, 116 00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:34,880 Speaker 1: if there's any remote possibility of recouping any amount of 117 00:07:34,920 --> 00:07:39,880 Speaker 1: the ten to nineteen billion dollars that we've seen stolen 118 00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:44,120 Speaker 1: from the taxpayers here in Minnesota because of the fraud 119 00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:48,880 Speaker 1: also from cardiovascular business. Two New York residents have been 120 00:07:48,880 --> 00:07:52,000 Speaker 1: sentenced to prison for their role in a year's long 121 00:07:52,080 --> 00:07:57,120 Speaker 1: kickback scheme that resulted in seventy million dollars in fraudulent 122 00:07:57,400 --> 00:08:01,680 Speaker 1: medicare claims. I mean, this goes back to what I 123 00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:05,040 Speaker 1: was saying before. We need a singular office, much like 124 00:08:05,680 --> 00:08:11,920 Speaker 1: Doge was with all the advancements bringing in you, David 125 00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:14,920 Speaker 1: Gartenstein Ross and our conversation with all the advancements that 126 00:08:15,040 --> 00:08:19,240 Speaker 1: AI has to offer to identify, to seek out and 127 00:08:19,440 --> 00:08:23,880 Speaker 1: tackle this fraud, because apparently, again it's happening in almost 128 00:08:23,880 --> 00:08:27,640 Speaker 1: every single sector of our society. A mobile medical diagnostics 129 00:08:27,720 --> 00:08:33,240 Speaker 1: company and several other stakeholders conspired to order medically unnecessary 130 00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:39,440 Speaker 1: TCD or transcranial Doppler scans. TCD scans are typically used 131 00:08:39,760 --> 00:08:43,160 Speaker 1: to screen patients for stroke or monitor other vascular concerns. 132 00:08:43,200 --> 00:08:46,079 Speaker 1: In this case, however, the doctors were giving kickbacks, some 133 00:08:46,280 --> 00:08:49,240 Speaker 1: in cash, some by check to order the scans for 134 00:08:49,480 --> 00:08:55,040 Speaker 1: no reason at all. In some instances, sham retail rental 135 00:08:55,400 --> 00:08:58,480 Speaker 1: and administrative service agreements were created to make it appear 136 00:08:58,640 --> 00:09:01,280 Speaker 1: on paper as if the doctors were being paid for 137 00:09:01,400 --> 00:09:05,960 Speaker 1: a legitimate reasons. According to the DOJ, the medicare ultimately 138 00:09:06,440 --> 00:09:10,680 Speaker 1: paid out twenty seven point two million to the TCD 139 00:09:10,880 --> 00:09:14,640 Speaker 1: provider for the claims. Now the participants in the years 140 00:09:14,679 --> 00:09:17,640 Speaker 1: long fraud scheme are getting prison time at heavy fines. 141 00:09:17,720 --> 00:09:20,120 Speaker 2: One individual has been ordered to pay. 142 00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:23,960 Speaker 1: Back approximately twenty seven point two million, a restitution forfeit 143 00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:28,160 Speaker 1: approximately one million another who have pled guilty to one 144 00:09:28,240 --> 00:09:32,440 Speaker 1: kind of conspiracy violating the anti kickback Statute. He's facing 145 00:09:32,720 --> 00:09:35,400 Speaker 1: five years in prison. And yet another individual has been 146 00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:40,360 Speaker 1: ordered to pay seventeen point six million forfeit approximately four 147 00:09:40,440 --> 00:09:43,960 Speaker 1: hundred and eight thousand. He was also fined twenty thousand dollars. 148 00:09:45,679 --> 00:09:49,719 Speaker 1: He'll be serving five years in prison. So, yeah, we 149 00:09:50,280 --> 00:09:53,679 Speaker 1: have a fraud problem in this country. And it's not 150 00:09:54,480 --> 00:09:58,120 Speaker 1: just singularly focused on those areas that we talk about 151 00:09:58,160 --> 00:10:00,520 Speaker 1: most often when it comes to these government pro It's 152 00:10:00,520 --> 00:10:04,880 Speaker 1: also tragically in our medical industry as well, which is 153 00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:09,719 Speaker 1: why again this attempts by President Donald Trump to go 154 00:10:10,240 --> 00:10:13,120 Speaker 1: and create this task force led by JD. Vance is 155 00:10:13,559 --> 00:10:16,400 Speaker 1: so important. Here's a bit more from the press conference yesterday. 156 00:10:16,760 --> 00:10:19,400 Speaker 5: Is alert President Trump now speaking in the Oval Office 157 00:10:19,400 --> 00:10:20,640 Speaker 5: alongside the Vice President. 158 00:10:20,760 --> 00:10:22,400 Speaker 2: Let's listen into this right now. 159 00:10:22,480 --> 00:10:24,959 Speaker 6: This is going to launch a whole of government approach 160 00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:28,200 Speaker 6: to rooting out the very serious problem of. 161 00:10:28,360 --> 00:10:31,960 Speaker 7: Fraud and federally funded programs around the country. As an 162 00:10:32,040 --> 00:10:35,480 Speaker 7: example of you know, you've been seeing it and seeing 163 00:10:35,520 --> 00:10:38,920 Speaker 7: it pretty big in Minnesota nineteen billion dollars. But that's 164 00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:42,720 Speaker 7: only for one little aspect of the fraud it's nineteen 165 00:10:42,800 --> 00:10:45,839 Speaker 7: billion dollars and California, as they say, is ten times 166 00:10:45,920 --> 00:10:51,719 Speaker 7: worse than other states. And this is not a Republican 167 00:10:51,800 --> 00:10:55,640 Speaker 7: Democrat thing. This is wherever it's taking place. It seems 168 00:10:55,720 --> 00:10:59,840 Speaker 7: that it's usually in blue stakes. If is there a risk, 169 00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:03,600 Speaker 7: we're going there too, But it seems as heavily, heavily 170 00:11:03,720 --> 00:11:04,679 Speaker 7: heavily democratic. 171 00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:07,880 Speaker 1: We'll get to a little bit more of what the 172 00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:10,880 Speaker 1: President has in store with his anti fraud task Force. 173 00:11:11,280 --> 00:11:14,320 Speaker 1: And also we're going to revisit a story that local 174 00:11:14,400 --> 00:11:17,040 Speaker 1: media has been ignoring, even though today was the day 175 00:11:18,440 --> 00:11:23,400 Speaker 1: that the temporary protected status for Somali's was set to end. 176 00:11:23,720 --> 00:11:25,960 Speaker 1: Now doing a little bit more digging on this, there 177 00:11:26,080 --> 00:11:30,000 Speaker 1: was an Obama appointed judge that temporarily blocked the DHS 178 00:11:30,080 --> 00:11:31,720 Speaker 1: from ending this protected status. 179 00:11:32,559 --> 00:11:34,520 Speaker 2: But the judge is an activist. 180 00:11:35,400 --> 00:11:38,080 Speaker 1: They made this move because of their trumpet arrangement syndrome, 181 00:11:38,120 --> 00:11:41,880 Speaker 1: and I'll explain why next here on Twin Cities News 182 00:11:41,920 --> 00:11:44,320 Speaker 1: Talk AM eleven thirty and one h three five FM. 183 00:11:44,360 --> 00:11:48,040 Speaker 2: Don't go anywhere, Good marn John. 184 00:11:48,640 --> 00:11:51,640 Speaker 8: Firstly, to all the doctors out there, God bless you 185 00:11:51,760 --> 00:11:56,520 Speaker 8: for your sacrifice and commitment to become medical doctors. Unlike 186 00:11:56,559 --> 00:12:00,760 Speaker 8: the PhD doctors who are on the left who credit 187 00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:06,320 Speaker 8: dissertation and think they're doctors. As to these large medical practices, however, 188 00:12:06,920 --> 00:12:09,280 Speaker 8: it's a dollars and cents game and they need to 189 00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:14,080 Speaker 8: keep people coming in for injections MRIs office visits because 190 00:12:14,120 --> 00:12:16,000 Speaker 8: that's how they pay their bills. 191 00:12:18,120 --> 00:12:21,880 Speaker 9: What you're saying is a great reason for all patients 192 00:12:21,920 --> 00:12:25,320 Speaker 9: to get a second opinion before opting for surgery. There 193 00:12:25,400 --> 00:12:30,959 Speaker 9: are ortho surgeons that will recommend surgery when you may 194 00:12:31,080 --> 00:12:34,320 Speaker 9: not need it, and other specialty areas, and I believe 195 00:12:34,400 --> 00:12:36,360 Speaker 9: that it is so important for people to get a 196 00:12:36,400 --> 00:12:40,480 Speaker 9: second opinion, and insurance more often than not, doesn't pay 197 00:12:40,559 --> 00:12:43,000 Speaker 9: for it, so they just go along with the surgery, 198 00:12:43,080 --> 00:12:44,920 Speaker 9: which is very very unfortunate. 199 00:12:45,679 --> 00:12:49,120 Speaker 1: Well as somebody who has spent a lot of time 200 00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:51,000 Speaker 1: in a doctor's office and we'll continue to do so 201 00:12:51,120 --> 00:12:52,000 Speaker 1: for the rest of my life. 202 00:12:52,400 --> 00:12:54,720 Speaker 2: Just a couple of points I'd like to make. 203 00:12:55,280 --> 00:12:58,120 Speaker 1: There's a balancing act that that happens when it comes 204 00:12:58,160 --> 00:13:03,240 Speaker 1: to your medical provider. I've complained and made a joke 205 00:13:03,480 --> 00:13:06,400 Speaker 1: that I don't like. I don't I don't believe this 206 00:13:06,559 --> 00:13:07,160 Speaker 1: is more of a joke. 207 00:13:07,640 --> 00:13:08,400 Speaker 2: I don't like the. 208 00:13:08,440 --> 00:13:11,280 Speaker 1: Fact that we have the access that we have to 209 00:13:12,559 --> 00:13:16,280 Speaker 1: the medical testing, like the moment that those tests come in, 210 00:13:17,440 --> 00:13:22,080 Speaker 1: like through my healthcare provider. Immediately when a test result 211 00:13:22,240 --> 00:13:25,600 Speaker 1: comes in, I get a text, and often I end 212 00:13:25,720 --> 00:13:29,320 Speaker 1: up seeing and can go and access the test results. 213 00:13:29,360 --> 00:13:32,280 Speaker 1: For whatever it is, blood test scams, you name it, 214 00:13:33,080 --> 00:13:36,319 Speaker 1: I end up seeing them before the medical provider does. Now, 215 00:13:36,440 --> 00:13:41,439 Speaker 1: if you are an individual that's prone to google and 216 00:13:41,559 --> 00:13:45,520 Speaker 1: then freak out, then that's something that you probably should 217 00:13:45,520 --> 00:13:48,120 Speaker 1: avoid doing or try to work through that, because there 218 00:13:48,320 --> 00:13:53,640 Speaker 1: is an incredible value at being able to access that 219 00:13:53,880 --> 00:13:59,400 Speaker 1: information educating yourself on what it is you're dealing with. So, 220 00:13:59,520 --> 00:14:03,000 Speaker 1: for example, for me, there was a circumstance two years 221 00:14:03,040 --> 00:14:06,880 Speaker 1: ago where a CT scan that I had done was wrong. 222 00:14:08,200 --> 00:14:09,640 Speaker 7: And the. 223 00:14:11,320 --> 00:14:18,400 Speaker 1: Mistake would have been a huge deal were it to 224 00:14:18,640 --> 00:14:21,680 Speaker 1: have been true. I mean to the point where that 225 00:14:21,880 --> 00:14:29,520 Speaker 1: probably would have required another surgery and probably rather quickly. 226 00:14:31,520 --> 00:14:33,840 Speaker 1: And when it popped up, I'm like that that can't 227 00:14:33,880 --> 00:14:36,480 Speaker 1: be right. And it turns out that after waiting a 228 00:14:36,520 --> 00:14:38,400 Speaker 1: day or two and asking the doctor to go and 229 00:14:38,480 --> 00:14:40,960 Speaker 1: look at it, they were wrong. Somebody had read it wrong. 230 00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:43,520 Speaker 1: Now thankfully nobody had gone or recommended anything. And I'm 231 00:14:43,840 --> 00:14:49,200 Speaker 1: confident that had I not said anything, that my cardiologists 232 00:14:49,200 --> 00:14:51,800 Speaker 1: at the time would have also gone and identified. 233 00:14:51,280 --> 00:14:52,800 Speaker 2: The same thing that I identified. 234 00:14:53,240 --> 00:14:56,800 Speaker 1: That being said, if they didn't and I was just 235 00:14:56,880 --> 00:15:01,760 Speaker 1: an individual who was simply trusted of my doctors, and 236 00:15:01,800 --> 00:15:04,440 Speaker 1: why wouldn't you and they wanted to recommend surgery based 237 00:15:04,520 --> 00:15:08,800 Speaker 1: off of this scan, it would have been completely a 238 00:15:09,040 --> 00:15:13,320 Speaker 1: major openheart surgery that would have been completely unnecessary. And 239 00:15:13,360 --> 00:15:15,400 Speaker 1: the other point I want to make to the last 240 00:15:15,480 --> 00:15:19,320 Speaker 1: talk back as well, is there's a difference, in my opinion, 241 00:15:19,400 --> 00:15:25,960 Speaker 1: between a healthcare provider going and recommending surgery or recommending 242 00:15:26,040 --> 00:15:30,560 Speaker 1: a procedure or saying you need to go and get 243 00:15:30,600 --> 00:15:34,720 Speaker 1: this done. So I had another circumstance recently where I'd 244 00:15:34,800 --> 00:15:37,120 Speaker 1: gone and I had jacked up my knee. I think 245 00:15:37,120 --> 00:15:38,880 Speaker 1: I told the story on the air. I was walking 246 00:15:38,960 --> 00:15:40,240 Speaker 1: up the stairs, I had a bowl in my hand 247 00:15:40,280 --> 00:15:42,920 Speaker 1: and I slipped, had no way to catch myself and 248 00:15:43,040 --> 00:15:47,400 Speaker 1: landed smacked first to my chest on the kitchen floor 249 00:15:47,520 --> 00:15:50,120 Speaker 1: two steps down from the stairs and go to the kitchen. 250 00:15:50,400 --> 00:15:52,280 Speaker 1: My knee had landed on the top step and it 251 00:15:52,560 --> 00:15:57,000 Speaker 1: ended up basically rupturing the sack inside of my knee. 252 00:15:57,920 --> 00:16:00,840 Speaker 1: The orthopedis that I went to go see he told 253 00:16:00,920 --> 00:16:03,320 Speaker 1: me you're probably gonna need surgery for that. 254 00:16:04,120 --> 00:16:06,040 Speaker 2: I don't think it's gonna go down in my opinion, 255 00:16:06,080 --> 00:16:07,000 Speaker 2: but this is your choice. 256 00:16:07,680 --> 00:16:09,360 Speaker 1: And there was a moment where i'd actually gone and 257 00:16:09,400 --> 00:16:11,360 Speaker 1: scheduled it and I said, yeah, you know what, I'm 258 00:16:11,400 --> 00:16:12,800 Speaker 1: gonna wait and see. And I'm glad that I did, 259 00:16:12,880 --> 00:16:17,040 Speaker 1: because it ended up resolving on its own, unfortunately, and 260 00:16:17,120 --> 00:16:19,480 Speaker 1: I wish it wasn't this way now more than ever. 261 00:16:19,640 --> 00:16:21,480 Speaker 2: You just you've got to stay on top of this stuff. 262 00:16:21,520 --> 00:16:24,160 Speaker 1: And I know that's really really difficult for a lot 263 00:16:24,240 --> 00:16:26,360 Speaker 1: of people because we are. 264 00:16:26,320 --> 00:16:29,600 Speaker 2: Prone to worry. We are prone to we are prone. 265 00:16:29,360 --> 00:16:32,000 Speaker 1: To think of the of of the worst, and you know, 266 00:16:32,240 --> 00:16:35,120 Speaker 1: we want to be able to trust our healthcare providers. 267 00:16:35,160 --> 00:16:36,720 Speaker 1: And I'm not saying that you shouldn't, but I am 268 00:16:36,840 --> 00:16:39,280 Speaker 1: saying that you do need to stay on top of 269 00:16:39,360 --> 00:16:41,960 Speaker 1: this more so than probably you ever have had to 270 00:16:42,120 --> 00:16:42,640 Speaker 1: in the past. 271 00:16:42,840 --> 00:16:45,680 Speaker 6: And to your point, John, Well, part of it too 272 00:16:45,800 --> 00:16:48,000 Speaker 6: is the technicians who are who are doing these scans 273 00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:50,200 Speaker 6: and doing the blood draws. They're so overworked and they're 274 00:16:50,200 --> 00:16:53,720 Speaker 6: going through just hundreds, probably thousands of patients at a time, 275 00:16:53,840 --> 00:16:56,280 Speaker 6: and you know they're they're gonna make mistakes every once 276 00:16:56,320 --> 00:16:59,200 Speaker 6: in a while, so you're absolutely right. Hopefully people are 277 00:16:59,280 --> 00:17:02,360 Speaker 6: able to educate themselves and ask the right questions and 278 00:17:02,600 --> 00:17:03,920 Speaker 6: make sure they're doing what's right for them. 279 00:17:04,520 --> 00:17:06,840 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's you know, times has just changed and with 280 00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:10,400 Speaker 1: the advancements in technology, you know, there's good and bad 281 00:17:10,440 --> 00:17:13,400 Speaker 1: that comes with that always. So on the one hand, 282 00:17:13,520 --> 00:17:16,080 Speaker 1: right we have readily, you know, ready information, We now 283 00:17:16,160 --> 00:17:18,840 Speaker 1: have AI that's able to go and identify these you know, 284 00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:23,480 Speaker 1: to help identify these particular you know, health concerns that 285 00:17:23,520 --> 00:17:26,440 Speaker 1: people might have. But with that, you know, comes you 286 00:17:26,520 --> 00:17:28,040 Speaker 1: need to have with you know what, I'll make it 287 00:17:28,119 --> 00:17:32,280 Speaker 1: really easy.

Those are brought to you by 303 00:18:07,560 --> 00:18:09,920 Speaker 1: Lin Dahl Realty here on Twin City's News Talk. 304 00:18:10,040 --> 00:18:10,720 Speaker 2: All Right, one more. 305 00:18:10,760 --> 00:18:16,360 Speaker 1: Quick point on President Donald Trump tackling fraud. Trump during 306 00:18:16,400 --> 00:18:18,720 Speaker 1: the press conference yesterday, he was there with jd Vance 307 00:18:18,760 --> 00:18:22,320 Speaker 1: and Stephen Miller, the White House Homeland Security Advisor, estimated 308 00:18:22,359 --> 00:18:28,960 Speaker 1: the task force could return billions of dollars to American taxpayers. 309 00:18:29,520 --> 00:18:31,280 Speaker 2: To that point, a friend of the show Jerry left 310 00:18:31,359 --> 00:18:32,160 Speaker 2: a comment. 311 00:18:33,040 --> 00:18:37,520 Speaker 3: Hey, John Jay Rosemount, So you know this nineteen billion 312 00:18:37,560 --> 00:18:44,240 Speaker 3: dollars that was stolen from Minnesota. That money's gone. Everybody 313 00:18:44,320 --> 00:18:46,600 Speaker 3: just needs to realize that that money is gone and 314 00:18:46,720 --> 00:18:50,480 Speaker 3: it is never coming back. The Democrats solutions to that 315 00:18:51,480 --> 00:18:56,600 Speaker 3: raised taxes and make the programs even bigger, makes no sense. 316 00:18:57,880 --> 00:19:01,440 Speaker 3: We need people who are fiscally respond in those positions. 317 00:19:02,640 --> 00:19:06,720 Speaker 1: You know, I was kind of of that opinion that 318 00:19:06,880 --> 00:19:12,640 Speaker 1: you have of the billions just being gone. However, going 319 00:19:12,760 --> 00:19:15,080 Speaker 1: through those stories and a few more than I did 320 00:19:15,200 --> 00:19:18,680 Speaker 1: for the show, today as I was preparing and realizing 321 00:19:18,960 --> 00:19:23,920 Speaker 1: that there are many circumstances wherein these individuals who committed 322 00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:27,920 Speaker 1: these acts of fraud and have been convicted are having 323 00:19:28,040 --> 00:19:32,560 Speaker 1: to go and pay back this money. So the majority 324 00:19:32,600 --> 00:19:35,800 Speaker 1: of those billions, you're right, is probably gone. But at 325 00:19:35,840 --> 00:19:40,000 Speaker 1: the same time, I want to know of the fraudsters 326 00:19:40,040 --> 00:19:42,560 Speaker 1: here in Minnesota, whether it's feeding our future, whether it's 327 00:19:42,600 --> 00:19:47,520 Speaker 1: housing and stabilization services, autism centers, daycare centers. Of those 328 00:19:47,600 --> 00:19:51,400 Speaker 1: that get convicted. You know, the question that I want 329 00:19:51,400 --> 00:19:53,480 Speaker 1: to answer it is, Okay, how much money were they 330 00:19:53,600 --> 00:19:56,359 Speaker 1: sitting on and how much money can we get back? No, 331 00:19:56,480 --> 00:19:58,399 Speaker 1: I have no faith that we get any of that 332 00:19:58,560 --> 00:20:02,280 Speaker 1: money back that under Governor Tim Walls and this and 333 00:20:02,359 --> 00:20:05,320 Speaker 1: the governor's administration, they're going to do anything worthwhile or 334 00:20:05,440 --> 00:20:08,640 Speaker 1: give it back to to you or I. That being said, 335 00:20:08,840 --> 00:20:12,720 Speaker 1: we should be examining every single aspect of getting back, 336 00:20:13,080 --> 00:20:15,480 Speaker 1: clawing back as best we can every single dollar that 337 00:20:15,640 --> 00:20:16,560 Speaker 1: was stolen from the state. 338 00:20:16,800 --> 00:20:17,760 Speaker 2: Here is one more. 339 00:20:17,680 --> 00:20:21,680 Speaker 1: Clip from President Donald Trump, and then coming up we'll 340 00:20:21,760 --> 00:20:25,240 Speaker 1: revisit back in January, Trump announcing the termination of the 341 00:20:25,320 --> 00:20:29,560 Speaker 1: protected status for Somalis. We're in a judge though on Friday, 342 00:20:29,600 --> 00:20:32,959 Speaker 1: although again the media has been ignoring this locally temporarily 343 00:20:33,080 --> 00:20:37,600 Speaker 1: blocked DHS from ending this TPS. These TPS visas. I'll 344 00:20:37,600 --> 00:20:40,280 Speaker 1: give you details next here on Twin City's Newstalk. But again, 345 00:20:40,320 --> 00:20:43,600 Speaker 1: here's one more comment from President Donald Trump yesterday announcing 346 00:20:43,800 --> 00:20:47,199 Speaker 1: his fraud Task Force here on Twin City's Newstalk. 347 00:20:47,359 --> 00:20:50,840 Speaker 7: I think this is wherever it's taking place, it seems 348 00:20:50,920 --> 00:20:53,320 Speaker 7: that it's usually in bluestates. 349 00:20:53,960 --> 00:20:56,399 Speaker 2: If it's there a red state, we're going there too. 350 00:20:57,000 --> 00:21:00,800 Speaker 7: But it seems as heavily, heavily, heavily Democrat, And what 351 00:21:00,920 --> 00:21:02,760 Speaker 7: they've done is so so sad. 352 00:21:03,720 --> 00:21:07,639 Speaker 2: When you look at the Minnesota scam, A lot of 353 00:21:07,720 --> 00:21:08,960 Speaker 2: it has to do with some Madya. 354 00:21:09,080 --> 00:21:11,520 Speaker 7: Nobody's calling out anybody, but a lot of it has 355 00:21:11,600 --> 00:21:14,680 Speaker 7: to do but it's Somaria and plenty of others.

I believe that you're a certain general is complicit. 358 00:21:26,200 --> 00:21:28,520 Speaker 7: And if they are, you're gonna hopefully find out about it. 359 00:21:28,640 --> 00:21:30,320 Speaker 7: Then you're gonna be You're gonna. 360 00:21:30,080 --> 00:21:30,960 Speaker 9: Have to do what you have to do. 361 00:21:40,440 --> 00:21:41,680 Speaker 2: Twin Cities News Talk. 362 00:21:43,800 --> 00:21:47,040 Speaker 1: Am eleven thirty one or three five FM streaming worldwide 363 00:21:47,760 --> 00:21:49,920 Speaker 1: on the iHeartRadio app, where you can always get caught 364 00:21:49,960 --> 00:21:53,680 Speaker 1: up on the podcast and get rid of that pesky 365 00:21:53,880 --> 00:21:56,000 Speaker 1: little red notification. 366 00:21:58,160 --> 00:22:01,320 Speaker 2: On your app store date the iHeartRadio app. 367 00:22:01,359 --> 00:22:06,679 Speaker 1: They're always adding enhancements to your listening experience, and if 368 00:22:06,720 --> 00:22:09,439 Speaker 1: you haven't done so already, take advantage of the preset 369 00:22:09,520 --> 00:22:16,000 Speaker 1: program available on the iHeartRadio app and make Twin Cities 370 00:22:16,080 --> 00:22:16,880 Speaker 1: News Talk number one. 371 00:22:16,840 --> 00:22:17,480 Speaker 2: On your presets. 372 00:22:17,920 --> 00:22:21,720 Speaker 1: Speaking of fraud, before we get into the temporary protected 373 00:22:21,800 --> 00:22:26,399 Speaker 1: status for Somali's ending that also being temporarily blocked by 374 00:22:26,440 --> 00:22:30,960 Speaker 1: an activist judge. Part of a trio of stories about 375 00:22:30,960 --> 00:22:34,240 Speaker 1: how Democrats do not care about crime, they really just 376 00:22:34,240 --> 00:22:34,680 Speaker 1: hate Trump. 377 00:22:34,760 --> 00:22:36,960 Speaker 2: We have three different stories. I want to share this 378 00:22:37,080 --> 00:22:37,320 Speaker 2: with you. 379 00:22:38,560 --> 00:22:41,560 Speaker 1: Thank you to the many friends of the show that 380 00:22:41,720 --> 00:22:44,960 Speaker 1: had emailed this story to me, including Jerry, of which 381 00:22:45,000 --> 00:22:48,960 Speaker 1: I'm reading this one from Fairbo Schools blew through one 382 00:22:49,520 --> 00:22:55,040 Speaker 1: dollars in DHS drug prevention grant money on Somali's soccer 383 00:22:55,119 --> 00:22:59,800 Speaker 1: league and cultural handouts, so the taxpayers ended up four 384 00:22:59,840 --> 00:23:04,119 Speaker 1: king over nearly a million bucks from the Minnesota Department 385 00:23:04,160 --> 00:23:07,200 Speaker 1: of Human Services to the Fairbeah Public Schools for a 386 00:23:07,320 --> 00:23:11,920 Speaker 1: grant that was supposed to stop substance abuse among underserved 387 00:23:12,040 --> 00:23:16,760 Speaker 1: minority youth, mainly within the Somali community. Instead, that money 388 00:23:17,040 --> 00:23:19,440 Speaker 1: did not go to where they said it was supposed 389 00:23:19,480 --> 00:23:24,359 Speaker 1: to go. That money was funneled to fund soccer gear, 390 00:23:24,600 --> 00:23:29,320 Speaker 1: after school events, a cash to cultural nonprofits as well, 391 00:23:29,400 --> 00:23:32,720 Speaker 1: while the woman who pushed the hardest for the grant 392 00:23:32,840 --> 00:23:38,560 Speaker 1: later admitted to helping steal five million in a separate 393 00:23:38,720 --> 00:23:45,720 Speaker 1: federal food fraud scheme. Oh yeah, I can't believe it. 394 00:23:46,760 --> 00:23:53,200 Speaker 1: We have a systemic problem of victimhood in this country. 395 00:23:54,720 --> 00:23:59,560 Speaker 1: Too many individuals had been told by the left that 396 00:23:59,760 --> 00:24:05,760 Speaker 1: they are perpetual victims of a racist society, among other things, 397 00:24:06,440 --> 00:24:10,639 Speaker 1: wherein they are always the victim. Therefore, when you go 398 00:24:11,560 --> 00:24:15,159 Speaker 1: and steal money that was intended for something good, to 399 00:24:15,400 --> 00:24:20,320 Speaker 1: use it for your own gain, these individuals often feel. 400 00:24:20,240 --> 00:24:21,200 Speaker 2: Justified in doing so. 401 00:24:22,280 --> 00:24:25,879 Speaker 1: We played audio of the woman who was convicted in 402 00:24:26,040 --> 00:24:28,840 Speaker 1: fraud for Feeding our Future, audio that we found of 403 00:24:28,920 --> 00:24:35,040 Speaker 1: her before she was convicted, before she was arrested, where 404 00:24:35,080 --> 00:24:39,680 Speaker 1: she was playing up the victim, keeping praise upon Amy Bach, 405 00:24:39,800 --> 00:24:44,040 Speaker 1: who spearheaded the Feeding our Future fraud. These individuals feel 406 00:24:44,160 --> 00:24:48,920 Speaker 1: justified in their criminal activities. Lol Ali, identified as the 407 00:24:49,080 --> 00:24:53,080 Speaker 1: Somali mother in the grant proposal, pleaded at a twenty 408 00:24:53,119 --> 00:24:56,159 Speaker 1: twenty two school board meeting, we need help. It's not 409 00:24:56,359 --> 00:25:00,520 Speaker 1: just the schools. We need help, big help. The district's 410 00:25:00,600 --> 00:25:05,600 Speaker 1: application echoed her plea, we need help. The sentiment expressed 411 00:25:05,640 --> 00:25:09,480 Speaker 1: by a Somali mother about the specific concern of youth 412 00:25:09,680 --> 00:25:13,720 Speaker 1: drug use and more general frustration of trying to parent 413 00:25:13,840 --> 00:25:17,960 Speaker 1: in a new culture captures the heart of this grant proposal. 414 00:25:18,359 --> 00:25:19,440 Speaker 2: This was on the application. 415 00:25:21,200 --> 00:25:25,159 Speaker 1: Now, months after the board approved the nine and seventy 416 00:25:25,280 --> 00:25:29,520 Speaker 1: nine five and twenty three dollars grant, federal prosecutors hit 417 00:25:29,640 --> 00:25:33,959 Speaker 1: Ali with fraud charges tied to the massive Feeding our 418 00:25:34,040 --> 00:25:36,560 Speaker 1: Future scandal. It just all sounds so familiar, doesn't it. 419 00:25:40,280 --> 00:25:46,280 Speaker 1: She and her husband, Mohammed Ali Hussein. They pled guilty 420 00:25:46,359 --> 00:25:50,040 Speaker 1: to ripping off the taxpayers by faking meal claims for 421 00:25:50,240 --> 00:25:55,200 Speaker 1: kids during the pandemic. I actually have further audio when 422 00:25:55,280 --> 00:26:00,480 Speaker 1: that mother was pleading to the school board two apply 423 00:26:00,720 --> 00:26:09,640 Speaker 1: for this DHS grant. Money might have been from parks 424 00:26:09,680 --> 00:26:16,359 Speaker 1: and records with that up. Superintendent Jamie Betty called the 425 00:26:16,400 --> 00:26:19,840 Speaker 1: revelation quite a shock, said The district took it as 426 00:26:19,840 --> 00:26:24,040 Speaker 1: a giant blow before ramping up vetting of partners. Newly 427 00:26:24,200 --> 00:26:26,840 Speaker 1: released records working off of the story here from Channel five. 428 00:26:27,119 --> 00:26:32,639 Speaker 1: Newly released records obtained only after persistent to open records 429 00:26:32,680 --> 00:26:36,639 Speaker 1: demand show spending had little to do with fighting drugs. 430 00:26:37,920 --> 00:26:40,879 Speaker 1: More than forty thousand dollars went to equipment in uniforms 431 00:26:40,960 --> 00:26:44,560 Speaker 1: for a Somali youth soccer league, deemed a big success. 432 00:26:44,720 --> 00:26:50,080 Speaker 1: Let me stop here really quick, though, because that's really 433 00:26:50,200 --> 00:26:51,920 Speaker 1: interesting the way this was worded. It's not on the 434 00:26:51,960 --> 00:26:53,680 Speaker 1: news story, but I just I want to share something 435 00:26:53,720 --> 00:26:56,359 Speaker 1: with you. The spending had little to do with fighting drugs. 436 00:26:58,240 --> 00:27:00,680 Speaker 1: This type of fraud, but in a different way, maybe 437 00:27:00,720 --> 00:27:03,080 Speaker 1: not as criminal. It happens all the time within our schools. 438 00:27:04,800 --> 00:27:07,000 Speaker 1: The schools are given funding by the state. Typically this 439 00:27:07,160 --> 00:27:10,360 Speaker 1: is because Democrats have convinced the voting public that if 440 00:27:10,359 --> 00:27:13,520 Speaker 1: you just throw enough money at the schools, it'll end 441 00:27:13,600 --> 00:27:16,960 Speaker 1: up increasing the quality of education, which is never ever, ever, ever, 442 00:27:17,119 --> 00:27:21,400 Speaker 1: ever ever ever drue. But often what happens is money 443 00:27:21,480 --> 00:27:23,600 Speaker 1: will be given to school districts, so they say, okay, 444 00:27:23,640 --> 00:27:27,600 Speaker 1: this money is to be allocated specifically to student retention 445 00:27:27,880 --> 00:27:30,639 Speaker 1: and recruitment because we need more bodies at the school. 446 00:27:33,680 --> 00:27:35,919 Speaker 1: But then they basically come up with any excuse they 447 00:27:35,960 --> 00:27:40,680 Speaker 1: can whatsoever to go and justify whatever pet project they had. Well, 448 00:27:40,680 --> 00:27:43,399 Speaker 1: we had to rebuild the pool and put in a 449 00:27:43,480 --> 00:27:46,760 Speaker 1: diving board and a tall one at that, and okay, well, 450 00:27:46,800 --> 00:27:49,680 Speaker 1: how is that better for recruitment of students? Well, because 451 00:27:49,880 --> 00:27:51,480 Speaker 1: you know, the students will see our new pool and 452 00:27:51,520 --> 00:27:53,880 Speaker 1: they'll want to come and come to our school because 453 00:27:53,920 --> 00:27:56,919 Speaker 1: of that. You get the idea. So I imagine that's 454 00:27:56,960 --> 00:27:59,960 Speaker 1: part of the excuse here. While spending forty thousand dollars 455 00:28:00,119 --> 00:28:04,359 Speaker 1: on equipment and uniforms for soccer may not seem like 456 00:28:04,400 --> 00:28:08,120 Speaker 1: it's fighting drugs, how much do you want to bet 457 00:28:08,440 --> 00:28:10,800 Speaker 1: that somebody tried to justify going Well, you know what, 458 00:28:11,320 --> 00:28:14,200 Speaker 1: the more time the kids are playing soccer, the less 459 00:28:14,240 --> 00:28:18,720 Speaker 1: time they're going to be doue with drugs. Ten thousand 460 00:28:18,760 --> 00:28:22,840 Speaker 1: dollars covered staff trips to Montana Institute training on positive 461 00:28:22,880 --> 00:28:28,680 Speaker 1: community norms at Big Sky Resort. Funds also supported after 462 00:28:28,720 --> 00:28:32,639 Speaker 1: school programming, youth engagement events, and plans to hand one 463 00:28:32,720 --> 00:28:37,040 Speaker 1: hundred and twenty thousand dollars to six culturally specific organizations. 464 00:28:37,560 --> 00:28:40,200 Speaker 1: The federal COVID cast dried up, and the grant ended abruptly. 465 00:28:40,280 --> 00:28:43,240 Speaker 1: In March of last year, DHS ran a financial check 466 00:28:43,560 --> 00:28:47,440 Speaker 1: and declared the district was in compliance with terms despite 467 00:28:47,920 --> 00:28:51,040 Speaker 1: a questionable fit for actual drug prevention. 468 00:28:51,280 --> 00:28:55,200 Speaker 2: What did I just tell you? I hadn't proofread the story, 469 00:28:55,400 --> 00:28:58,840 Speaker 2: but exactly what I said was going to happen happened. 470 00:29:01,400 --> 00:29:02,840 Speaker 2: By the way, As a talk show host, I love 471 00:29:02,920 --> 00:29:08,920 Speaker 2: it when that happens. It's like immediate vindication, so so gratifying. 472 00:29:10,080 --> 00:29:11,840 Speaker 2: I wish people could still look on your face right now. 473 00:29:12,160 --> 00:29:13,720 Speaker 2: I'm giddy. I'm giddy. 474 00:29:14,760 --> 00:29:17,800 Speaker 1: One former board member who voted no, I'm pursuing the 475 00:29:17,880 --> 00:29:21,600 Speaker 1: grant complained he got no regular updates. It's just not 476 00:29:21,720 --> 00:29:23,840 Speaker 1: given to the board. It should be for the whole 477 00:29:23,920 --> 00:29:27,960 Speaker 1: board and not a selective group. An attorney who advises 478 00:29:28,080 --> 00:29:32,280 Speaker 1: nonprofit stress the need for real oversight. Theoretically, there's two 479 00:29:32,360 --> 00:29:34,959 Speaker 1: layers of accountability in there, and that's how it's supposed 480 00:29:35,000 --> 00:29:38,040 Speaker 1: to work. As taxpayers, there should be some accountability. So 481 00:29:38,160 --> 00:29:41,000 Speaker 1: in the middle of minnesota sprawling welfare mess, the episode 482 00:29:41,040 --> 00:29:44,600 Speaker 1: shows how federal dollars meant to protect vulnerable kids got 483 00:29:44,680 --> 00:29:48,520 Speaker 1: diverted while the original champion walked away from her own 484 00:29:48,840 --> 00:29:54,600 Speaker 1: multimillion dollar theft with the Plea deal. No wonder trusting 485 00:29:54,640 --> 00:29:57,160 Speaker 1: government is at rock bottom, do you think. 486 00:29:59,520 --> 00:29:59,560 Speaker 7: So? 487 00:29:59,640 --> 00:30:04,400 Speaker 1: You might remembered, speaking of all the fraud at the 488 00:30:04,480 --> 00:30:06,200 Speaker 1: beginning of the year, the end of last year, the 489 00:30:06,240 --> 00:30:09,520 Speaker 1: beginning of this year, Minnesota was dominating the news headlines. 490 00:30:09,640 --> 00:30:13,800 Speaker 1: Not because of ice yet, but because of the fraud, 491 00:30:15,160 --> 00:30:18,880 Speaker 1: the fraud that had been exposed through outlets like Alpha News. 492 00:30:19,160 --> 00:30:21,120 Speaker 2: We'll talk with Alphan News tomorrow on the show. 493 00:30:23,160 --> 00:30:27,600 Speaker 1: Center the American Experiments, Nick Shirley's efforts as well. So 494 00:30:27,720 --> 00:30:30,320 Speaker 1: in the middle of all that, President Donald Trump decided 495 00:30:31,280 --> 00:30:34,240 Speaker 1: that he was going to end the Temporary Protected Status 496 00:30:34,320 --> 00:30:38,720 Speaker 1: for Somali's, effectively forcing as many as twenty four hundred 497 00:30:38,800 --> 00:30:42,400 Speaker 1: people out of the United States, despite the president's remarks 498 00:30:43,920 --> 00:30:46,920 Speaker 1: that last that Somalia was barely a country. This is 499 00:30:46,960 --> 00:30:49,200 Speaker 1: according to ABC News. There's a lot of bias in 500 00:30:49,280 --> 00:30:51,280 Speaker 1: this story, by the way, So this is again, this 501 00:30:51,520 --> 00:30:57,680 Speaker 1: was back in January. Samali immigrants with TPS would have 502 00:30:57,840 --> 00:31:02,960 Speaker 1: been required to leave the country starting today unless a 503 00:31:03,040 --> 00:31:07,160 Speaker 1: court pause the TPS revocation. So this landed on my 504 00:31:07,280 --> 00:31:10,200 Speaker 1: radar yesterday and I did what I typically do when 505 00:31:10,240 --> 00:31:14,280 Speaker 1: I went to go look for subsequent news stories regarding this. 506 00:31:14,840 --> 00:31:20,840 Speaker 1: No outlet was covering this locally. There was some indications 507 00:31:20,880 --> 00:31:24,040 Speaker 1: that maybe some deportations might have started yesterday. That's not 508 00:31:24,240 --> 00:31:26,600 Speaker 1: the case, given what I'm about to share with you 509 00:31:26,680 --> 00:31:28,600 Speaker 1: in a moment. But I found it really interesting that, 510 00:31:29,000 --> 00:31:33,959 Speaker 1: all right, we've got several hundred some ALLI immigrants here 511 00:31:34,040 --> 00:31:41,080 Speaker 1: in Minnesota that are still utilizing this TPS designation that 512 00:31:41,160 --> 00:31:43,200 Speaker 1: goes all the way back to nineteen ninety one. The 513 00:31:43,320 --> 00:31:45,440 Speaker 1: whole reason why Trump was ending this was because the 514 00:31:45,560 --> 00:31:49,440 Speaker 1: justification for temporary protective status just simply doesn't exist anymore. 515 00:31:53,840 --> 00:31:57,640 Speaker 1: So this had been conspicuously missing from local media reports. 516 00:31:58,680 --> 00:32:01,719 Speaker 1: I posted a video yesterday online because when and if 517 00:32:01,800 --> 00:32:03,680 Speaker 1: this happens, and more than likely it's still going to 518 00:32:03,760 --> 00:32:06,600 Speaker 1: go into effect, all hell is going to break loose 519 00:32:06,640 --> 00:32:08,000 Speaker 1: on the streets of Minnesota. 520 00:32:08,560 --> 00:32:09,840 Speaker 2: I mean, there's no doubt about that this. 521 00:32:09,920 --> 00:32:12,360 Speaker 1: Could potentially while you're looking at a smaller number of 522 00:32:12,440 --> 00:32:17,880 Speaker 1: individuals who could be deported under TPS here in Minnesota, 523 00:32:18,160 --> 00:32:21,080 Speaker 1: make no mistake with the Democrats right now during the 524 00:32:21,160 --> 00:32:24,800 Speaker 1: legislative session trying to do everything they can to base 525 00:32:24,960 --> 00:32:27,840 Speaker 1: this Session Off of Immigration to use this in the 526 00:32:27,960 --> 00:32:33,240 Speaker 1: upcoming election. If and when these deportations of TPS visa 527 00:32:33,320 --> 00:32:38,000 Speaker 1: Somali immigrants begins, just wait to see what the reaction 528 00:32:38,200 --> 00:32:42,880 Speaker 1: is on the streets. My guess is it's going to 529 00:32:43,000 --> 00:32:46,880 Speaker 1: be much worse than it was before. And you're going 530 00:32:46,960 --> 00:32:51,000 Speaker 1: to see more encouragement coming from Democrats for people to 531 00:32:51,080 --> 00:32:54,320 Speaker 1: get in the way of these new deportation efforts, and 532 00:32:54,960 --> 00:32:58,240 Speaker 1: further coverage of local media outlets who are desperate for clicks. 533 00:33:00,800 --> 00:33:00,920 Speaker 2: Now. 534 00:33:00,960 --> 00:33:03,200 Speaker 1: I had to do further digging because again, none of 535 00:33:03,240 --> 00:33:05,440 Speaker 1: the local media outlets we're talking about this, and I 536 00:33:05,520 --> 00:33:09,040 Speaker 1: happened to come across one story out of Reuters of 537 00:33:09,120 --> 00:33:15,040 Speaker 1: all places, about how a US district Judge, Allison D. 538 00:33:15,240 --> 00:33:19,240 Speaker 1: Burrows out of Massachusetts, who was appointed by Barack Obama 539 00:33:19,440 --> 00:33:24,200 Speaker 1: back in twenty fourteen, issued an order following a lawsuit 540 00:33:24,280 --> 00:33:28,280 Speaker 1: filed by four Somali nationals and two nonprofits arguing that 541 00:33:28,360 --> 00:33:31,800 Speaker 1: Somalis would face harm if their legal status were revoked. 542 00:33:32,240 --> 00:33:37,000 Speaker 1: This federal judge on Friday temporarily blocked the Department of 543 00:33:37,040 --> 00:33:39,040 Speaker 1: Homeland Security from ending TPS. 544 00:33:40,760 --> 00:33:40,880 Speaker 6: Well. 545 00:33:40,920 --> 00:33:42,320 Speaker 2: What's interesting about this, though. 546 00:33:42,280 --> 00:33:45,640 Speaker 1: Is the judge, in her ruling said that Somalis could 547 00:33:45,720 --> 00:33:51,000 Speaker 1: face substantial consequences if the TPS termination were able to 548 00:33:51,160 --> 00:33:54,360 Speaker 1: proceed while the legal challenge is still ongoing. 549 00:33:56,520 --> 00:33:58,640 Speaker 2: But she also states. 550 00:34:00,320 --> 00:34:03,440 Speaker 1: That while the stay is in effect, the termination shall 551 00:34:03,480 --> 00:34:07,240 Speaker 1: be null, void of no legal effect, and says, on 552 00:34:07,320 --> 00:34:10,359 Speaker 1: the other hand, if the court postpones the effective date 553 00:34:10,880 --> 00:34:14,000 Speaker 1: of a decision committed to the executive branch, it risks 554 00:34:14,440 --> 00:34:21,160 Speaker 1: harmful interference with its coordinate branches of government. So Burrows 555 00:34:21,239 --> 00:34:24,080 Speaker 1: granted the plaintiffs an administrative stay and then deferred the 556 00:34:24,280 --> 00:34:28,080 Speaker 1: ruling on the TPS termination to give both sides time 557 00:34:28,160 --> 00:34:29,440 Speaker 1: to file briefs. 558 00:34:29,640 --> 00:34:30,400 Speaker 2: On the plainiffs. 559 00:34:31,360 --> 00:34:37,680 Speaker 1: But the judge essentially acknowledged that one she's only delaying 560 00:34:37,840 --> 00:34:41,279 Speaker 1: what is more than likely inevitable, and that is the 561 00:34:41,600 --> 00:34:45,920 Speaker 1: ending of TPS protections and the potential deportation of those 562 00:34:45,960 --> 00:34:47,560 Speaker 1: individuals who haven't already. 563 00:34:47,320 --> 00:34:51,840 Speaker 2: Left the country. But it was also clearly a political 564 00:34:51,960 --> 00:34:55,040 Speaker 2: move and not one. 565 00:34:55,000 --> 00:34:59,600 Speaker 1: Sympathetic at all to the Somali immigrant TPS visa holder, 566 00:35:00,760 --> 00:35:04,759 Speaker 1: because if the judge cared about the interests of the 567 00:35:04,840 --> 00:35:09,279 Speaker 1: immigrants on this, then they would have issued this order 568 00:35:09,360 --> 00:35:12,480 Speaker 1: like a month and a half ago. I mean, the 569 00:35:12,560 --> 00:35:15,560 Speaker 1: whole purpose of waiting until March seventeenth, when the order 570 00:35:15,680 --> 00:35:18,680 Speaker 1: was given at the beginning of January, was to make 571 00:35:18,800 --> 00:35:23,680 Speaker 1: sure that those individuals here on these TPS visas were 572 00:35:23,760 --> 00:35:27,839 Speaker 1: given the opportunity to go and figure out an alternative 573 00:35:27,920 --> 00:35:29,840 Speaker 1: because this was coming to an end. You will no 574 00:35:30,000 --> 00:35:34,239 Speaker 1: longer be able to stay here under the TPS. So 575 00:35:34,320 --> 00:35:37,840 Speaker 1: the Trump administration was actually doing these immigrants of favor. 576 00:35:38,120 --> 00:35:42,120 Speaker 1: This judge has done the immigrants no favor for the 577 00:35:42,160 --> 00:35:46,279 Speaker 1: sake of argument. If the judge's order was able to 578 00:35:46,400 --> 00:35:51,640 Speaker 1: go ahead and withhold permanently the TPS versus, well, too bad. 579 00:35:51,680 --> 00:35:53,800 Speaker 1: So sad I guess for those immigrants that decided to 580 00:35:54,280 --> 00:35:57,200 Speaker 1: do the right thing and immigrate, to immigrate back home 581 00:35:57,360 --> 00:36:01,400 Speaker 1: or go someplace else ahead of time before today's. 582 00:36:02,480 --> 00:36:05,560 Speaker 2: Implementation and the ending of the TPS orders. 583 00:36:05,640 --> 00:36:08,600 Speaker 1: Now, this was nothing more than another move by an 584 00:36:08,640 --> 00:36:11,880 Speaker 1: activist judge in this case appointed by President former President 585 00:36:11,960 --> 00:36:15,120 Speaker 1: Barack Obama nos surprise there, to stick it to the 586 00:36:15,160 --> 00:36:18,160 Speaker 1: Trump administration and temporarily halt that which is more. 587 00:36:18,080 --> 00:36:19,920 Speaker 2: Than likely going to happen anyways. 588 00:36:19,960 --> 00:36:22,960 Speaker 1: That's part one of our series of stories about how 589 00:36:23,000 --> 00:36:28,200 Speaker 1: Democrats do not care about crime and criminals. We'll get 590 00:36:28,239 --> 00:36:30,160 Speaker 1: to your talkbacks on this a moment, but I want 591 00:36:30,160 --> 00:36:37,359 Speaker 1: to share with you story number two, the sequel. Mary 592 00:36:37,440 --> 00:36:44,680 Speaker 1: Moriarty's office has declined to charge an alleged anti ice vandal. Yes, 593 00:36:44,960 --> 00:36:47,160 Speaker 1: I know you're sitting there listening to me and you're 594 00:36:47,200 --> 00:36:52,240 Speaker 1: just completely shocked by this. The Hanneban County Attorney's office 595 00:36:53,360 --> 00:36:58,600 Speaker 1: reportedly declined to charge a man arrested in January after 596 00:36:58,719 --> 00:37:04,319 Speaker 1: he vandalized several businesses in Minneapolis along Lake Street during 597 00:37:04,360 --> 00:37:07,320 Speaker 1: an anti ice protest. I'm working off of a version 598 00:37:07,360 --> 00:37:12,319 Speaker 1: from the story courtesy of Alpha News. Francis David Stenhouer, 599 00:37:12,480 --> 00:37:15,560 Speaker 1: twenty four years old, of Minneapolis, arrested on January tenth. 600 00:37:16,480 --> 00:37:19,560 Speaker 1: Police said he was responsible for vandalizing several businesses with 601 00:37:19,640 --> 00:37:23,040 Speaker 1: anti ice graffiti, including a theater, a church, a Minneapolis 602 00:37:23,080 --> 00:37:26,799 Speaker 1: school building, the Hennepin County healthcare building, and Target oh 603 00:37:26,840 --> 00:37:29,960 Speaker 1: as well as a Metro transit bus stopped in traffic. 604 00:37:33,320 --> 00:37:33,440 Speaker 5: Now. 605 00:37:33,480 --> 00:37:36,359 Speaker 1: The press release included a statement from MPD Chief Brian 606 00:37:36,440 --> 00:37:41,279 Speaker 1: O'Hara specifying that all the businesses and property damaged were 607 00:37:41,320 --> 00:37:43,840 Speaker 1: along the Lake Street corridor, the heart of Minneapolis and 608 00:37:43,880 --> 00:37:47,520 Speaker 1: the immigrant community, going further to say this is exactly 609 00:37:47,600 --> 00:37:49,800 Speaker 1: what I had predicted. Damage being done would affect the 610 00:37:49,880 --> 00:37:56,280 Speaker 1: heart of our immigrant community. Several photos of the damage 611 00:37:56,280 --> 00:38:02,799 Speaker 1: were released by MPD. In their statement, they said, while 612 00:38:02,880 --> 00:38:05,759 Speaker 1: monitoring a group along Lake Street, officers saw this man 613 00:38:07,080 --> 00:38:10,680 Speaker 1: spray painting a Metro transit bus stopped in traffic. The 614 00:38:10,760 --> 00:38:14,160 Speaker 1: group continued marching and the man was seen spraying multiple businesses. 615 00:38:14,480 --> 00:38:17,040 Speaker 1: Officers were directed to his location by others who were 616 00:38:17,160 --> 00:38:20,839 Speaker 1: monitoring cameras in the area. Officers attempted to arrest the man, 617 00:38:20,920 --> 00:38:24,120 Speaker 1: he fled on foot. Officers were eventually able to take 618 00:38:24,200 --> 00:38:26,560 Speaker 1: him into custody a short time later. The police report 619 00:38:26,600 --> 00:38:29,759 Speaker 1: obtained by Quinwatch Minneapolis also indicated that a drone was 620 00:38:29,880 --> 00:38:32,879 Speaker 1: utilized to track the suspect and assist in the arrest, 621 00:38:33,000 --> 00:38:38,439 Speaker 1: but it didn't matter. Jail records indicated that sten Hower 622 00:38:38,600 --> 00:38:41,640 Speaker 1: was released from custody without being charged. Oh but he 623 00:38:41,800 --> 00:38:44,439 Speaker 1: was hell for thirty six hours, So that was enough? 624 00:38:44,640 --> 00:38:44,759 Speaker 5: Is that? 625 00:38:44,920 --> 00:38:46,560 Speaker 2: What there is? That the idea here? 626 00:38:48,320 --> 00:38:51,320 Speaker 1: Crime Watch recently learned from a source that the Annivan 627 00:38:51,360 --> 00:38:54,480 Speaker 1: County's Attorney's office had declined to charge den Hower and 628 00:38:54,680 --> 00:38:58,480 Speaker 1: filed a data request. Is to inquire why now the 629 00:38:58,680 --> 00:39:02,040 Speaker 1: HCAO did rep apply with a denial to fulfill the 630 00:39:02,160 --> 00:39:05,239 Speaker 1: data request, and stated, in part to the extent that 631 00:39:05,400 --> 00:39:11,319 Speaker 1: the data you seek exists, it's protected against disclosure as 632 00:39:11,400 --> 00:39:15,959 Speaker 1: attorney data under this Minnesota statute or the attorney work 633 00:39:17,080 --> 00:39:20,160 Speaker 1: product doctrine. It would not be the first time that 634 00:39:20,239 --> 00:39:24,000 Speaker 1: Mary Moriarty has declined to charge a vandal who aligns 635 00:39:24,040 --> 00:39:24,960 Speaker 1: with left wing causes. 636 00:39:25,000 --> 00:39:25,840 Speaker 2: In Hennepin County. 637 00:39:25,920 --> 00:39:30,320 Speaker 1: We know famously the individual who damaged multiple Tesla vehicles 638 00:39:31,640 --> 00:39:35,080 Speaker 1: felony level damages to twenty thousand dollars, but he was 639 00:39:35,160 --> 00:39:39,080 Speaker 1: instead entered into a diversion program in lieu of being charged. 640 00:39:40,400 --> 00:39:42,920 Speaker 1: Democrats who don't care about crime and criminals Part two, 641 00:39:43,800 --> 00:39:48,040 Speaker 1: especially when the suspect aligns with the prosecutor's political beliefs. 642 00:39:50,120 --> 00:39:52,439 Speaker 2: But wait, there's more. 643 00:39:56,200 --> 00:39:59,280 Speaker 1: Demos don't care about criminals in crime Part three, especially 644 00:39:59,360 --> 00:40:03,319 Speaker 1: when it's illegal aliens.
