The question is why did. 31 00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:49,960 Speaker 1: A group of elected Democrats decide to try to go 32 00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:53,960 Speaker 1: and wedge themselves between the members of our military and 33 00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:57,480 Speaker 1: the commander in chief by asking them to not follow 34 00:01:57,560 --> 00:02:04,200 Speaker 1: illegal orders that haven't even occurred. It's completely irrelevant. There 35 00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:07,400 Speaker 1: is no example of President Donald Trump putting forward any 36 00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:11,720 Speaker 1: illegal orders. Would you yourself would have to be a 37 00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:16,080 Speaker 1: fool and an ignorant one at that, and stupid, as 38 00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:20,919 Speaker 1: Phil defines it, to not recognize the problem of what 39 00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:28,240 Speaker 1: those congressional elected leaders did with that video. But as always, Phil, 40 00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:30,639 Speaker 1: I appreciate you leaving a talk back here on Twin 41 00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:31,320 Speaker 1: City's News Talk. 42 00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:33,800 Speaker 3: Good morning, John. 43 00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:36,959 Speaker 5: There's nothing I'd like more than getting up the work 44 00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:40,040 Speaker 5: a job I hate, in order to pay all these 45 00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:45,800 Speaker 5: freaking taxes, only to let the Somalis and other groups 46 00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:52,120 Speaker 5: fraudulently take the money I've given away by force.

Minnesota has an estimated population of seventy 67 00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:32,240 Speaker 1: nine thousand, the largest of any American state, according to 68 00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:35,400 Speaker 1: the twenty nineteen to twenty twenty three stats compiled by 69 00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:38,960 Speaker 1: Minnesota Compass Now.

Governor 72 00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:49,599 Speaker 1: Tim Walls responded to all of this, saying, it's not 73 00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:53,440 Speaker 1: surprising the president has chosen to broadly target an entire community. 74 00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:56,680 Speaker 1: This is what he does to change the subject, He 75 00:04:56,760 --> 00:05:00,960 Speaker 1: wrote on x shortly after Trump's post, Well, exactly what 76 00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:04,800 Speaker 1: subject is Wall's referring to that Trump is changing the 77 00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:06,040 Speaker 1: topic away from. 78 00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:10,840 Speaker 2: Democrats. 79 00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:15,440 Speaker 1: Minnesota Representative Ilhan Omar responded to Trump's announcement, stating, she 80 00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:18,000 Speaker 1: and other Somali Americans are here to stay. I am 81 00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:21,040 Speaker 1: a citizen, and so are a majority of Somalis in America. 82 00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:24,320 Speaker 1: Good luck celebrating a policy change that doesn't have much 83 00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:29,240 Speaker 1: impact on the Somalis you love to hate. She took debate. 84 00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:33,320 Speaker 1: Walls took debate. What Donald Trump did here was he 85 00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:36,160 Speaker 1: brought this conversation to the forefront. He put it out 86 00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:37,640 Speaker 1: in the open so that we can have an open 87 00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:41,440 Speaker 1: and honest dialogue about what has been transpiring here in 88 00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:46,080 Speaker 1: the state of Minnesota. Democrat Minnesota state Senator Omar Fat 89 00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:49,479 Speaker 1: a socialist who lost to his November fourth bid to 90 00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:52,640 Speaker 1: become the mayor of Minneapolis, he posted, the President does 91 00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:55,000 Speaker 1: not have the authority to terminate this program on his own, 92 00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:57,320 Speaker 1: but I'm sure he's hoping that this will distract it. 93 00:05:57,360 --> 00:05:59,640 Speaker 1: Maybe this is what Walls was referring to from the 94 00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:05,560 Speaker 1: fifth teen hundred times he's mentioned in the Epstein files. Well, 95 00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:08,600 Speaker 1: he seems much less relevant now, doesn't he than he 96 00:06:08,640 --> 00:06:09,600 Speaker 1: did before. 97 00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:11,800 Speaker 2: Now. 98 00:06:11,839 --> 00:06:18,440 Speaker 1: Once granted TPS, an individual cannot be detained by DHS 99 00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:21,120 Speaker 1: Department of Homeland Security, in this case, on the basis 100 00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:24,560 Speaker 1: of his or her immigration status in the United States. 101 00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:29,640 Speaker 1: Somalia is one of a dozen countries with TPS designation. 102 00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:33,600 Speaker 1: According to the agency, the Secretary of Homeland Security may 103 00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:36,799 Speaker 1: designate a foreign country for TPS due to the conditions 104 00:06:36,839 --> 00:06:41,880 Speaker 1: in the country that temporarily prevent the country's nationals from 105 00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:45,279 Speaker 1: returning safely or in certain circumstances where the country is 106 00:06:45,320 --> 00:06:49,120 Speaker 1: unable to handle the return of its nationals adequately. When 107 00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:52,600 Speaker 1: asked for additional comment, the White House referred to the 108 00:06:52,920 --> 00:06:56,320 Speaker 1: post by Trump on true Social Walls's office did not 109 00:06:56,400 --> 00:07:01,360 Speaker 1: immediately respond to requests for additional comments. All right, let's 110 00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:03,479 Speaker 1: get back to I have more thoughts on this, including 111 00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:06,039 Speaker 1: the response so far, according to the Minnesota Star Tribune 112 00:07:06,279 --> 00:07:09,720 Speaker 1: panic in the Minnesota Somali community after Trump's pledge to 113 00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:14,240 Speaker 1: end deportation protections. But let's go here to the iHeartRadio 114 00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:16,640 Speaker 1: app and your talkbacks, brought to you by Lyndall Realty. 115 00:07:17,320 --> 00:07:20,320 Speaker 6: Good morning, John.

I mean, what's the point of this job 124 00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:44,520 Speaker 6: you elaborate? And how did these bets sitting behind bars? 125 00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:47,200 Speaker 1: Okay, so let me get to that comment here in 126 00:07:47,240 --> 00:07:48,600 Speaker 1: just a moment. I want to address it. 127 00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:51,000 Speaker 3: I wish you would get a better phone. 128 00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:55,720 Speaker 1: First off, let's go ahead and hear from Eric from 129 00:07:55,880 --> 00:07:58,640 Speaker 1: BRAINERD as well, because I want to address both of 130 00:07:58,680 --> 00:08:01,080 Speaker 1: these comments coming into the iHeartRadio app. 131 00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:03,880 Speaker 7: May get more than Eric from BRAINERD. Make it make sense. 132 00:08:03,920 --> 00:08:07,680 Speaker 7: I'm so confused. Our party did multiple events, videos and 133 00:08:07,760 --> 00:08:11,280 Speaker 7: gatherings with the Somali community Wednesday, Walter Hudson and even 134 00:08:11,280 --> 00:08:14,120 Speaker 7: did videos in a press conference with their business leaders. 135 00:08:14,960 --> 00:08:18,480 Speaker 7: So do we want their votes and we'll pander them 136 00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:20,400 Speaker 7: or are we cutting them out of our party? 137 00:08:20,440 --> 00:08:20,640 Speaker 8: Now? 138 00:08:21,080 --> 00:08:24,160 Speaker 1: Thanks, I just you're completely missing the point in all 139 00:08:24,200 --> 00:08:26,679 Speaker 1: of this, and I'm glad that you left that comment 140 00:08:26,760 --> 00:08:32,080 Speaker 1: so I can help to clarify. First off, getting back 141 00:08:32,080 --> 00:08:35,880 Speaker 1: to the other comment, why isn't Walls in jail yet? 142 00:08:35,920 --> 00:08:41,240 Speaker 1: Because he hasn't been charged or convicted of anything. I'm 143 00:08:41,240 --> 00:08:43,080 Speaker 1: not happy with the fraud that's taking place here in 144 00:08:43,080 --> 00:08:44,480 Speaker 1: the state. If you listen to the show for any 145 00:08:44,559 --> 00:08:47,360 Speaker 1: length of time, you know that I'm the one that 146 00:08:47,480 --> 00:08:50,760 Speaker 1: was out there last week saying that Walls needs to 147 00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:54,600 Speaker 1: go and resign. That went viral, by the way, right 148 00:08:54,640 --> 00:08:56,920 Speaker 1: up until the spyware app decided they didn't want to 149 00:08:56,920 --> 00:08:57,640 Speaker 1: share it anymore. 150 00:08:58,200 --> 00:09:02,200 Speaker 2: So I made another one. Yeah, it's been grabbed by 151 00:09:02,200 --> 00:09:02,960 Speaker 2: a lot of different people. 152 00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:06,560 Speaker 1: I keep getting a smattering of messages from other different 153 00:09:06,679 --> 00:09:10,000 Speaker 1: from from listeners and friends of the show and friends 154 00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:13,160 Speaker 1: of mine throughout my radio career, listening to other commentators 155 00:09:13,160 --> 00:09:14,880 Speaker 1: who have grabbed my video and they're talking about it, 156 00:09:14,920 --> 00:09:17,920 Speaker 1: which is good, which means it's working. But when it 157 00:09:17,960 --> 00:09:21,040 Speaker 1: comes to Walls, he hasn't been He's not going to 158 00:09:21,080 --> 00:09:23,719 Speaker 1: be convicted or tried of anything regarding all of this 159 00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:29,080 Speaker 1: if we didn't get so far, and I don't think 160 00:09:29,080 --> 00:09:31,520 Speaker 1: it's going to happen, if we didn't get the direct 161 00:09:31,559 --> 00:09:37,840 Speaker 1: connections to the upper echelons of Minnesota government, Democrat leaders 162 00:09:38,800 --> 00:09:41,960 Speaker 1: tied with feeding our future. I have no expectation whatsoever 163 00:09:42,400 --> 00:09:44,920 Speaker 1: that we're going to go and see Walls attached to 164 00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:50,319 Speaker 1: anything directly that would implicate him having broken. 165 00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:51,520 Speaker 2: The law relating to the fraud. 166 00:09:51,840 --> 00:09:55,000 Speaker 1: He should resign because he's the governor of the state 167 00:09:55,040 --> 00:09:59,320 Speaker 1: of Minnesota and he's been a failure in allowing this 168 00:09:59,440 --> 00:10:01,360 Speaker 1: to take place on his watch. That's what just what 169 00:10:01,400 --> 00:10:05,160 Speaker 1: a real leader does. Even if he wasn't specifically and 170 00:10:05,240 --> 00:10:07,800 Speaker 1: implicitly involved in any of it, or even aware that 171 00:10:07,840 --> 00:10:13,600 Speaker 1: it was taking place prior to the accusations and the indictments. 172 00:10:14,320 --> 00:10:17,080 Speaker 1: He should resign because that's what a good leader does. 173 00:10:17,559 --> 00:10:22,440 Speaker 1: Now to Eric's comment about Walter Hudson doing videos with 174 00:10:22,600 --> 00:10:27,600 Speaker 1: business leaders in the Somali community, Yeah, because not everybody 175 00:10:27,640 --> 00:10:34,240 Speaker 1: in that community is guilty of fraud. You want to 176 00:10:34,280 --> 00:10:37,840 Speaker 1: handle the situation that we're dealing with, be open and honest, 177 00:10:39,720 --> 00:10:44,040 Speaker 1: have a dialogue in a conversation, strip away your fear 178 00:10:44,080 --> 00:10:47,040 Speaker 1: of being called a racist, and just speak to the facts. 179 00:10:47,760 --> 00:10:48,520 Speaker 2: The majority of. 180 00:10:48,520 --> 00:10:51,480 Speaker 1: The fraud committed in the state of Minnesota has been 181 00:10:51,480 --> 00:10:56,040 Speaker 1: perpetuated by the Somali community. It should go without saying, 182 00:10:56,040 --> 00:10:57,880 Speaker 1: but I'm gonna say it anyways. It doesn't mean that 183 00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:01,080 Speaker 1: everybody in the Somali community is involved in this fraud. 184 00:11:03,400 --> 00:11:05,720 Speaker 2: If you come to the country and you immigrate here. 185 00:11:05,720 --> 00:11:07,880 Speaker 1: Legally and you abide by our laws, I don't care 186 00:11:07,960 --> 00:11:11,520 Speaker 1: what your background is. Fantastic, thank you for embracing the 187 00:11:11,559 --> 00:11:15,800 Speaker 1: American way. But if you're involved in crimes and fraud, 188 00:11:15,840 --> 00:11:17,960 Speaker 1: you need to be held accountable. And that's the problem. 189 00:11:20,960 --> 00:11:24,679 Speaker 1: Too many individuals were too afraid to speak up and 190 00:11:24,800 --> 00:11:29,040 Speaker 1: talk about a specific demographic involved in this while addressing 191 00:11:29,120 --> 00:11:32,800 Speaker 1: the issue, and there's an argument to be made that 192 00:11:32,880 --> 00:11:35,920 Speaker 1: the government officials at the state level ignored what was 193 00:11:35,960 --> 00:11:39,319 Speaker 1: going on because they didn't want to make specific demographics 194 00:11:39,360 --> 00:11:42,400 Speaker 1: mad because those demographics typically go and vote for Democrats. 195 00:11:46,240 --> 00:11:50,079 Speaker 1: There are plenty of business leaders from all different backgrounds 196 00:11:50,080 --> 00:11:55,360 Speaker 1: here in Minnesota, from all different walks of life, religions 197 00:11:55,760 --> 00:11:59,280 Speaker 1: and countries of origin, that just want to make a 198 00:11:59,280 --> 00:12:02,600 Speaker 1: life for themselves, provide services to the community, and follow 199 00:12:02,679 --> 00:12:03,080 Speaker 1: the law. 200 00:12:06,360 --> 00:12:09,520 Speaker 2: This shouldn't be that difficult. So yeah, I understand. 201 00:12:09,080 --> 00:12:11,640 Speaker 1: Why Walter Hudson would do a press conference with business leaders. 202 00:12:12,160 --> 00:12:14,480 Speaker 1: If those individuals are following the law, why wouldn't you. 203 00:12:15,400 --> 00:12:21,679 Speaker 1: They haven't done anything wrong. We'll get back to more 204 00:12:21,679 --> 00:12:23,560 Speaker 1: of your thoughts coming up. We'll talk about the panic 205 00:12:25,640 --> 00:12:30,040 Speaker 1: President Donald Trump's plan is apparently sending through the communities, 206 00:12:30,040 --> 00:12:32,360 Speaker 1: and we'll get back to more of your talkbacks coming 207 00:12:32,440 --> 00:12:34,800 Speaker 1: up here on Twin Cities News Talk AM eleven thirty 208 00:12:34,800 --> 00:12:39,920 Speaker 1: and one oh three five FM. 209 00:12:40,080 --> 00:12:41,480 Speaker 2: Twin City's News Talk. 210 00:12:43,040 --> 00:12:49,280 Speaker 1: AM eleven thirty one O three five FM.

Well, it can't 218 00:13:18,240 --> 00:13:19,840 Speaker 1: be that alarming. They had a pot. 219 00:13:19,600 --> 00:13:20,640 Speaker 2: Look for crying out loud. 220 00:13:22,640 --> 00:13:25,920 Speaker 1: We talked about that in the first hour of the show, 221 00:13:25,960 --> 00:13:29,640 Speaker 1: that there was a support for the community via a potluck. 222 00:13:29,720 --> 00:13:37,120 Speaker 1: Because nothing screams concern over potential deportations like string bean casserole. 223 00:13:36,640 --> 00:13:37,920 Speaker 2: And scalloped potatoes. 224 00:13:42,280 --> 00:13:46,760 Speaker 1: The move could return hundreds of refugees to Somalia, putting 225 00:13:46,760 --> 00:13:49,440 Speaker 1: them at risk of injury or death. This is according 226 00:13:49,480 --> 00:13:51,439 Speaker 1: to ab. 227 00:13:51,360 --> 00:13:52,320 Speaker 2: D Kwani. 228 00:13:53,480 --> 00:13:57,960 Speaker 1: Jabaine, a local immigration attorney. That quote, by the way, 229 00:13:58,280 --> 00:13:59,679 Speaker 1: I want to point to you, I'm going to work 230 00:13:59,720 --> 00:14:02,160 Speaker 1: off through the start tribute article Bill Glahn at the 231 00:14:02,160 --> 00:14:05,240 Speaker 1: center of the American experiment. He also has this up 232 00:14:05,320 --> 00:14:09,800 Speaker 1: at power Line. He grabbed onto this article as well. 233 00:14:10,840 --> 00:14:13,440 Speaker 1: One point that he wanted to make in this was 234 00:14:13,640 --> 00:14:18,120 Speaker 1: that quote there the move could return hundreds of refugees 235 00:14:18,160 --> 00:14:20,560 Speaker 1: to Somalia. Putting them at risk of injury or death 236 00:14:20,600 --> 00:14:25,080 Speaker 1: according to the local immigration attorney. So only a few hundreds, 237 00:14:25,080 --> 00:14:27,120 Speaker 1: which is what people have been pointing out, has now 238 00:14:27,160 --> 00:14:34,160 Speaker 1: turned into hundreds more quotes from the same attorneys Sending 239 00:14:34,200 --> 00:14:37,800 Speaker 1: anyone back to Somalia today is unsafe because Al Shabab 240 00:14:37,920 --> 00:14:43,240 Speaker 1: remains active, terrorist attacks continue and the Somali government today 241 00:14:43,320 --> 00:14:48,000 Speaker 1: is unable to protect anyone. 242 00:14:48,440 --> 00:14:51,520 Speaker 9: Hey, John, great show, as always about the TPS for 243 00:14:51,560 --> 00:14:55,920 Speaker 9: the Somalis. I know several Somalis that regularly go home 244 00:14:56,160 --> 00:14:59,960 Speaker 9: and visit family annually and come back. If a place 245 00:15:00,280 --> 00:15:03,240 Speaker 9: is that dangerous, you don't go home and visit. You 246 00:15:03,280 --> 00:15:06,280 Speaker 9: stay where you feel safe. Thank you. 247 00:15:06,320 --> 00:15:09,360 Speaker 10: Can we call this what it is, it's the Somali mafia. 248 00:15:09,520 --> 00:15:14,240 Speaker 10: You have an Italian mafia, Jewish mafia, Irish mafia in Minneapolis. 249 00:15:14,280 --> 00:15:17,800 Speaker 10: We have a Somali mafia. No, it doesn't include every Somali. 250 00:15:17,840 --> 00:15:21,240 Speaker 10: In fact, it's a small percentage, exactly, Phil and All. 251 00:15:21,680 --> 00:15:25,800 Speaker 10: It is a mafia game these guys are playing. It's 252 00:15:25,800 --> 00:15:29,400 Speaker 10: a mafia structure. And yes, I do believe there are 253 00:15:29,440 --> 00:15:32,400 Speaker 10: people at the state level and the county level who 254 00:15:32,400 --> 00:15:33,080 Speaker 10: are in on it. 255 00:15:33,480 --> 00:15:36,240 Speaker 1: By the way, there were several individuals that left talkbacks 256 00:15:36,320 --> 00:15:37,640 Speaker 1: very upset at FO of the show. 257 00:15:37,640 --> 00:15:37,880 Speaker 2: Phil. 258 00:15:39,080 --> 00:15:45,280 Speaker 1: Yeah, well, Phil, you're a stupid, stupid, stupid head, stupid gosh, man, 259 00:15:45,440 --> 00:15:49,400 Speaker 1: get some vocabulary, buddy. 260 00:15:49,120 --> 00:15:50,120 Speaker 3: Phil is racist. 261 00:15:50,240 --> 00:15:52,600 Speaker 9: I'm European and that take offense. 262 00:15:52,200 --> 00:15:53,040 Speaker 3: To what he just said. 263 00:15:53,120 --> 00:15:54,720 Speaker 1: Yeah, I was waiting for that, by the way I was. 264 00:15:54,840 --> 00:15:58,240 Speaker 1: That's was I knew I could trust you guys to 265 00:16:00,480 --> 00:16:04,480 Speaker 1: bring it on that ridiculous statement. Although the majority of 266 00:16:04,480 --> 00:16:08,320 Speaker 1: Somalis in Minnesota, our US citizens, are lawful residents and 267 00:16:08,360 --> 00:16:12,160 Speaker 1: not directly affected by TPS, fear within the community is real. 268 00:16:13,240 --> 00:16:16,280 Speaker 1: According to the Minnesota Star Tribune, many Somalis are in 269 00:16:16,320 --> 00:16:18,800 Speaker 1: a panic, and some are even talking about leaving Minnesota 270 00:16:18,800 --> 00:16:24,760 Speaker 1: for another state. Sending anyone back to Somalia today is unsafe. 271 00:16:24,760 --> 00:16:26,480 Speaker 1: As we mentioned a moment ago with the quote from 272 00:16:26,480 --> 00:16:29,400 Speaker 1: the Immigration attorney, Al Shabab is defined as a terrorist 273 00:16:29,480 --> 00:16:31,920 Speaker 1: group by the US State Department and controls parts of 274 00:16:31,920 --> 00:16:35,320 Speaker 1: the East African community. TPS is a legal status granted 275 00:16:35,320 --> 00:16:38,360 Speaker 1: by the Department of Homeland Security allowing foreign nationals to 276 00:16:38,400 --> 00:16:40,600 Speaker 1: live in the United States if returning to their home 277 00:16:40,640 --> 00:16:44,000 Speaker 1: country puts them in harm's way. Somalia's status has been 278 00:16:44,080 --> 00:16:47,880 Speaker 1: in effect since nineteen ninety one, but is due to 279 00:16:47,960 --> 00:16:49,840 Speaker 1: expire in March. And so if you're one of the 280 00:16:49,840 --> 00:16:52,280 Speaker 1: handful of individuals who fall under this. 281 00:16:55,400 --> 00:16:56,720 Speaker 2: You knew that day was coming. 282 00:16:56,800 --> 00:17:00,440 Speaker 1: There are steps that you can take prior to the 283 00:17:00,480 --> 00:17:05,400 Speaker 1: expiration date of the temporary protected status. And yeah, while 284 00:17:05,480 --> 00:17:08,639 Speaker 1: you may be assuming that it's just going to be renewed, 285 00:17:09,240 --> 00:17:12,119 Speaker 1: one has to at least be paying attention to what 286 00:17:12,200 --> 00:17:15,080 Speaker 1: is going on in the state of Minnesota and nationwide 287 00:17:15,320 --> 00:17:23,200 Speaker 1: and realize that the likelihood of that happening continues to diminish. 288 00:17:23,280 --> 00:17:26,199 Speaker 1: There were about four hundred and thirty Somalis in the 289 00:17:26,240 --> 00:17:30,119 Speaker 1: state with TPS protections as of twenty twenty three. Now, 290 00:17:30,160 --> 00:17:33,480 Speaker 1: the Minnesota Chapter of Council on Islamic Relations said the decision, 291 00:17:34,080 --> 00:17:38,959 Speaker 1: fueled by harmful misinformation campaigns that we believe have external 292 00:17:39,119 --> 00:17:43,800 Speaker 1: political motives, will tear families apart and send individuals to 293 00:17:43,840 --> 00:17:46,879 Speaker 1: a country that they have not known for over twenty years. 294 00:17:47,800 --> 00:17:51,560 Speaker 1: That's according to the group's executive director, Jelani Hussein, who 295 00:17:51,600 --> 00:17:55,000 Speaker 1: in a statement says this is not just a bureaucratic change, 296 00:17:55,080 --> 00:17:58,160 Speaker 1: it is a political attack on Somali and the Muslim community, 297 00:17:58,240 --> 00:18:01,480 Speaker 1: driven by islamophobia and hateful rhetoric. 298 00:18:02,320 --> 00:18:03,840 Speaker 2: Doesn't show your work on that. 299 00:18:03,880 --> 00:18:07,439 Speaker 1: They never nobody ever shows their work over commentary like that. 300 00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:10,760 Speaker 2: What is. 301 00:18:12,200 --> 00:18:15,200 Speaker 1: What can be pointed to and labeled specifically as being 302 00:18:15,359 --> 00:18:20,240 Speaker 1: islamophobic and what can specifically be hateful rhetoric? There's a 303 00:18:20,280 --> 00:18:26,080 Speaker 1: policy in place that ends up benefiting one particular demographic, 304 00:18:26,280 --> 00:18:31,680 Speaker 1: that's the policy. If the policy isn't renewed, it's not islamophobic. 305 00:18:31,720 --> 00:18:35,880 Speaker 1: In this case, it's not hateful. It's not being renewed 306 00:18:35,960 --> 00:18:40,840 Speaker 1: because the temporary protected status doesn't apply anymore. And like 307 00:18:40,880 --> 00:18:43,200 Speaker 1: I said before, Trump should just call everybody's bluff. 308 00:18:42,960 --> 00:18:43,720 Speaker 2: At this point in time and. 309 00:18:43,720 --> 00:18:49,159 Speaker 1: Say, okay, be gracious, I will not move to end 310 00:18:49,280 --> 00:18:52,240 Speaker 1: the temporary protected status. Now, I'll go ahead and wait 311 00:18:52,320 --> 00:18:54,760 Speaker 1: the one hundred and ten sum odd days between now 312 00:18:54,960 --> 00:18:57,280 Speaker 1: and March seventeenth when it was set to expire, and 313 00:18:57,359 --> 00:19:00,280 Speaker 1: I just simply won't go and renewed it. 314 00:19:01,400 --> 00:19:02,520 Speaker 2: You could just go that route. 315 00:19:04,359 --> 00:19:10,280 Speaker 11: Everyone so up in arms about the Smalley rule by Trump, Well, 316 00:19:10,520 --> 00:19:13,679 Speaker 11: the only people worrying are those that have something to 317 00:19:13,800 --> 00:19:15,360 Speaker 11: worry about exactly. 318 00:19:16,640 --> 00:19:17,679 Speaker 2: Oh, I wanted to share this one. 319 00:19:17,720 --> 00:19:19,960 Speaker 1: I'm a little bit behind, but we heard from Eric 320 00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:22,720 Speaker 1: and Brainerd earlier, and I appreciated this comment from the 321 00:19:22,720 --> 00:19:23,720 Speaker 1: iHeartRadio app. 322 00:19:24,240 --> 00:19:26,879 Speaker 12: I'm pretty sure Eric from Baxter is the show's version 323 00:19:26,880 --> 00:19:27,840 Speaker 12: of Karl Gerbschnitt. 324 00:19:28,760 --> 00:19:31,240 Speaker 2: If you know, you know, it's a good. 325 00:19:33,040 --> 00:19:35,560 Speaker 1: One hundred percent, if you know you know.

Have a great day. 342 00:20:32,760 --> 00:20:36,640 Speaker 1: Working off the Star Tribune article Panic in Minnesota Somali community. 343 00:20:36,680 --> 00:20:41,000 Speaker 1: After Trump's pledge to end deportation protections, I got an 344 00:20:41,040 --> 00:20:46,560 Speaker 1: email in justice at iHeartRadio dot com and Bill writes this, 345 00:20:47,680 --> 00:20:49,800 Speaker 1: So I would just like to say that I work 346 00:20:49,880 --> 00:20:52,919 Speaker 1: with many people from the Somali community on a daily basis, 347 00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:54,760 Speaker 1: and those that I deal with, they're very good people, 348 00:20:55,280 --> 00:20:58,240 Speaker 1: and that they are just working hard to have immigrated 349 00:20:58,400 --> 00:21:02,840 Speaker 1: here legally, trying to collect a check, pay their bills, 350 00:21:02,840 --> 00:21:05,199 Speaker 1: and take care of their family like anybody else. I 351 00:21:05,200 --> 00:21:06,959 Speaker 1: think it's sad that there are those who would take 352 00:21:06,960 --> 00:21:10,440 Speaker 1: advantage of our system, regardless of which community, or race 353 00:21:10,560 --> 00:21:13,960 Speaker 1: or country they are from. As usual, the good people 354 00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:15,960 Speaker 1: are not the ones that you will hear about in 355 00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:19,160 Speaker 1: the news. Unfortunately. I said some kind of words about 356 00:21:19,160 --> 00:21:21,120 Speaker 1: the show, thank you and thank you for that, Bill, And. 357 00:21:21,080 --> 00:21:22,040 Speaker 2: You're absolutely right. 358 00:21:24,400 --> 00:21:28,560 Speaker 1: These are not easy conversations to have because you're dealing 359 00:21:28,800 --> 00:21:34,360 Speaker 1: with the left who want to immediately use identity and 360 00:21:34,840 --> 00:21:39,679 Speaker 1: go and create false narratives relating to these issues that 361 00:21:39,800 --> 00:21:43,080 Speaker 1: what we're discussing is purely based off of identity and 362 00:21:43,119 --> 00:21:48,000 Speaker 1: therefore racist. There is a way to address both appropriately 363 00:21:48,040 --> 00:21:52,240 Speaker 1: and still achieve your goal. You call out the fraud 364 00:21:52,240 --> 00:21:54,440 Speaker 1: and then you be open and honest about what is happening. 365 00:21:55,920 --> 00:21:59,639 Speaker 1: Fraud in Minnesota is happening, a majority of it in 366 00:21:59,720 --> 00:22:00,960 Speaker 1: these Amali community. 367 00:22:01,320 --> 00:22:04,960 Speaker 2: You be compassionate. That is the compassionate thing to do. 368 00:22:05,600 --> 00:22:06,840 Speaker 2: Call out the reality. 369 00:22:07,280 --> 00:22:11,800 Speaker 1: Adding that as Hans did, as Bill did, regardless of 370 00:22:12,320 --> 00:22:15,000 Speaker 1: who you are, if you follow the law American born 371 00:22:15,119 --> 00:22:21,400 Speaker 1: legal immigrant, you are not part of this conversation or controversy. 372 00:22:22,560 --> 00:22:25,240 Speaker 1: Democrats could still go and it would be ridiculous, but 373 00:22:25,280 --> 00:22:28,119 Speaker 1: they could still go and call out Trump for ending 374 00:22:28,200 --> 00:22:31,240 Speaker 1: TPS if they want, but at least they would be 375 00:22:31,280 --> 00:22:34,320 Speaker 1: addressing the single biggest issue that the state is facing 376 00:22:34,440 --> 00:22:35,200 Speaker 1: right now. 377 00:22:36,400 --> 00:22:36,600 Speaker 6: You know. 378 00:22:36,640 --> 00:22:40,920 Speaker 1: And unfortunately leaders in the community as well aren't doing 379 00:22:40,960 --> 00:22:42,800 Speaker 1: what needs to be done because they're not willing to 380 00:22:42,840 --> 00:22:46,600 Speaker 1: do it either, and that's part of the problem. I mean, 381 00:22:46,640 --> 00:22:49,000 Speaker 1: this brings me to the fact that the police chief, 382 00:22:49,040 --> 00:22:56,280 Speaker 1: Brian O'Hara had to apologize after going and being honest 383 00:22:56,880 --> 00:23:01,199 Speaker 1: about who was committing the crime that's been taking place 384 00:23:01,400 --> 00:23:05,879 Speaker 1: in Minneapolis. I talked about this last week where Brian 385 00:23:05,920 --> 00:23:08,600 Speaker 1: o'haro hair I don't know how exactly you say it, 386 00:23:08,600 --> 00:23:12,920 Speaker 1: but the Minneapolis police chief, he came out and said 387 00:23:14,119 --> 00:23:18,560 Speaker 1: that it was kids from East Africa coming into the 388 00:23:18,600 --> 00:23:24,880 Speaker 1: community and causing the problems relating to crime. Broken clock 389 00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:27,560 Speaker 1: is right twice a day. I applaud him for being 390 00:23:27,640 --> 00:23:32,920 Speaker 1: open and honest about what was actually going and taking place. Unfortunately, 391 00:23:33,320 --> 00:23:39,480 Speaker 1: when he did that, he ended up getting unnecessary criticism 392 00:23:40,240 --> 00:23:42,480 Speaker 1: coming from the Somali community to the point where he 393 00:23:42,600 --> 00:23:44,840 Speaker 1: had to kind of go and apologize. 394 00:23:44,880 --> 00:23:47,399 Speaker 2: Here's how that whole exchange went down. We need to 395 00:23:47,440 --> 00:23:53,320 Speaker 2: have that Stagno Chief Obahani, I'm not gonna askubahan. 396 00:23:52,920 --> 00:23:55,720 Speaker 14: Heip a channel coming to the Asher community or somebody 397 00:23:55,760 --> 00:23:58,320 Speaker 14: had Eo Da Dimkamala and Na monco Ki. 398 00:23:58,880 --> 00:24:02,159 Speaker 15: The Somali community here in Minneapolis has been welcoming and 399 00:24:02,240 --> 00:24:06,200 Speaker 15: has shown love towards me, and I appreciate it. Over 400 00:24:06,240 --> 00:24:09,200 Speaker 15: the last three years, we have been working together to 401 00:24:09,320 --> 00:24:12,000 Speaker 15: try and address some of the real serious problems that 402 00:24:12,080 --> 00:24:14,520 Speaker 15: we have in our community. We have to be honest 403 00:24:14,760 --> 00:24:17,240 Speaker 15: at times with the problems that we're having in our community, 404 00:24:17,320 --> 00:24:19,760 Speaker 15: and we need our community to help us fix those 405 00:24:19,800 --> 00:24:22,360 Speaker 15: problems together because it's real and it's serious. 406 00:24:23,119 --> 00:24:25,280 Speaker 3: At the same time, if people. 407 00:24:25,160 --> 00:24:28,720 Speaker 15: Have taken anything that I have said out of context 408 00:24:28,840 --> 00:24:31,920 Speaker 15: in a way that's caused harm. I apologize and I'm 409 00:24:31,960 --> 00:24:34,080 Speaker 15: sorry for that, because that's not my intention at all. 410 00:24:34,280 --> 00:24:38,760 Speaker 1: He didn't need to apologize at all. It was completely unnecessary. 411 00:24:39,480 --> 00:24:43,560 Speaker 1: Any rational individual paying attention to what he said understood 412 00:24:44,040 --> 00:24:46,879 Speaker 1: what his comments were. When you get offended, that's a choice. 413 00:24:47,880 --> 00:24:54,240 Speaker 1: You're choosing to get offended. People had self imposed to 414 00:24:54,440 --> 00:24:59,560 Speaker 1: silence over this issue because this is what they feared 415 00:25:01,040 --> 00:25:05,120 Speaker 1: in pointing to any specific demographic relating to a majority 416 00:25:05,160 --> 00:25:08,400 Speaker 1: of individuals going on and conducting crime, and therein lies 417 00:25:08,440 --> 00:25:11,240 Speaker 1: the power of false narratives. 418 00:25:13,160 --> 00:25:18,040 Speaker 2: The police chief wasn't condemning blaming all of the Somali community. 419 00:25:18,920 --> 00:25:21,640 Speaker 1: And quite honestly, if the leadership really cared, they would 420 00:25:21,680 --> 00:25:25,440 Speaker 1: acknowledge the reality in their community and then work to 421 00:25:25,600 --> 00:25:29,520 Speaker 1: address it. Knowing that he wasn't going and condemning an 422 00:25:29,720 --> 00:25:36,119 Speaker 1: entire group of individuals. You know, if my youngest was 423 00:25:36,400 --> 00:25:41,920 Speaker 1: going around the neighborhood and smacking mailboxes with a baseball bat, 424 00:25:43,680 --> 00:25:45,560 Speaker 1: I don't know why suddenly now he's doing. 425 00:25:46,040 --> 00:25:47,919 Speaker 2: Things the kids used to do back in the fifties. 426 00:25:47,960 --> 00:25:49,080 Speaker 2: Beat it an may if he. 427 00:25:49,359 --> 00:25:54,600 Speaker 1: Was, and the police said that, well, there's an issue 428 00:25:54,680 --> 00:25:57,520 Speaker 1: with the talk show host's son who's going around and 429 00:25:57,640 --> 00:26:02,639 Speaker 1: causing vandalism to mailboxes in the nameghborhood. And then I 430 00:26:02,760 --> 00:26:06,440 Speaker 1: go and get all up in arms saying, well, you 431 00:26:06,520 --> 00:26:08,840 Speaker 1: know what if my other son he's not doing anything 432 00:26:08,920 --> 00:26:11,320 Speaker 1: and you can make him look bad, it would be ridiculous. 433 00:26:15,040 --> 00:26:18,040 Speaker 1: As ridiculous as that example that I just tried to 434 00:26:18,080 --> 00:26:22,200 Speaker 1: share with you at the end of the piece from 435 00:26:22,520 --> 00:26:24,639 Speaker 1: the Star Tribune, and I want to share a bit 436 00:26:24,680 --> 00:26:27,480 Speaker 1: of what Bill Golah had noticed in this article. The 437 00:26:27,600 --> 00:26:30,680 Speaker 1: immigration attorney said he expects Home Land Security officials will 438 00:26:30,680 --> 00:26:33,560 Speaker 1: attempt to follow through with Trump's threats. It doesn't matter 439 00:26:33,680 --> 00:26:36,800 Speaker 1: that there's nothing connecting the people with deportation protections with 440 00:26:37,240 --> 00:26:40,399 Speaker 1: suspected fraud. He said, the Somalis in Minnesota were to 441 00:26:40,520 --> 00:26:43,880 Speaker 1: lose TPS, people are afraid that ICE agents may start 442 00:26:43,960 --> 00:26:46,840 Speaker 1: rounding up Somali's. These are people who have lived and 443 00:26:46,920 --> 00:26:51,240 Speaker 1: worked in the community for more than twenty years. First off, 444 00:26:51,640 --> 00:26:55,480 Speaker 1: the only individuals affected would be the small amount a 445 00:26:55,520 --> 00:26:58,720 Speaker 1: few hundred that are under the temporary protected status. And 446 00:26:58,880 --> 00:27:02,080 Speaker 1: what were those individuals going to do come March when 447 00:27:02,160 --> 00:27:09,159 Speaker 1: GPS was set to expire. Anyways, Now, Bill Glon an 448 00:27:09,200 --> 00:27:13,360 Speaker 1: American experiment, points this out. That same immigration attorney says 449 00:27:13,400 --> 00:27:18,520 Speaker 1: he believes that Trump is singling out Somali's in Minnesota 450 00:27:18,560 --> 00:27:22,240 Speaker 1: because of ongoing fraud accusations in which Somali businesses have 451 00:27:22,320 --> 00:27:25,399 Speaker 1: been accused of stealing millions from the state Department of 452 00:27:25,480 --> 00:27:29,399 Speaker 1: Human Services. As Bill notes, and I agree you unpack 453 00:27:29,520 --> 00:27:34,080 Speaker 1: that sentence. No businesses have been accused, only individuals have 454 00:27:34,200 --> 00:27:37,840 Speaker 1: been accused. So far, we've seen more than sixty individuals 455 00:27:39,200 --> 00:27:45,119 Speaker 1: with Somali ancestry convicted of stealing several hundred millions of 456 00:27:45,240 --> 00:27:49,560 Speaker 1: dollars three to four hundred million so far, involving both 457 00:27:49,760 --> 00:27:53,840 Speaker 1: the state departments of Human Services and Education and other 458 00:27:53,920 --> 00:27:58,080 Speaker 1: state and federal agencies that has already entered into the 459 00:27:58,160 --> 00:28:02,720 Speaker 1: realm of the proven All of these convictions have occurred 460 00:28:03,160 --> 00:28:06,680 Speaker 1: in just the past three years. Several of those convicted 461 00:28:06,720 --> 00:28:09,800 Speaker 1: are already serving prison terms, some of the prison terms 462 00:28:09,840 --> 00:28:16,600 Speaker 1: handed down extended for decades. How many persons will eventually 463 00:28:16,760 --> 00:28:20,480 Speaker 1: be implicated? So far, there are well over one hundred 464 00:28:20,560 --> 00:28:25,840 Speaker 1: defendants formally charged across various frauds. Will the final number 465 00:28:25,880 --> 00:28:29,600 Speaker 1: be around one thousand? And what denominator do we apply 466 00:28:29,760 --> 00:28:33,880 Speaker 1: to that numerator? It is a one hundred percent certainty, 467 00:28:33,960 --> 00:28:37,600 Speaker 1: writes Bill Klawn based on the facts already in public record, 468 00:28:37,960 --> 00:28:40,920 Speaker 1: that once we reach the end of the many state 469 00:28:41,000 --> 00:28:45,560 Speaker 1: and federal investigations and prosecutions of fraud against taxpayers, it 470 00:28:45,680 --> 00:28:49,440 Speaker 1: will be evident that Minnesota residents of Somali and East 471 00:28:49,520 --> 00:28:53,880 Speaker 1: African ethnicities were responsible for losses of more than one 472 00:28:54,360 --> 00:28:59,720 Speaker 1: billion dollars. Those will be facts demonstrated in courts of law. 473 00:29:00,880 --> 00:29:04,360 Speaker 1: It is not support for a value judgment or a 474 00:29:04,480 --> 00:29:08,360 Speaker 1: moral conclusion. What we've seen in reaction to the City 475 00:29:08,440 --> 00:29:11,960 Speaker 1: Journal piece is a knee jerk response from many on 476 00:29:12,080 --> 00:29:15,840 Speaker 1: the left to denying the underlying facts of the frauds, 477 00:29:16,400 --> 00:29:23,120 Speaker 1: lest it lead people to make a moral judgment. Representative 478 00:29:23,200 --> 00:29:25,320 Speaker 1: Tim Burshett, in the wake of the news that broke 479 00:29:25,400 --> 00:29:31,400 Speaker 1: last week talking about this very issue, he posted this online. 480 00:29:32,400 --> 00:29:38,080 Speaker 8: Everybody, Tim Barchett back in Tennessee. Hey, I've been reading 481 00:29:38,120 --> 00:29:42,920 Speaker 8: a lot watching the news on these Somalis in Minnesota 482 00:29:42,960 --> 00:29:47,440 Speaker 8: and around the area that are ripping the system off, 483 00:29:47,680 --> 00:29:52,800 Speaker 8: fakeing autism. And I've got my dearest friends has autism 484 00:29:53,560 --> 00:29:56,640 Speaker 8: and he just gets it every day, doesn't get any help, 485 00:29:56,920 --> 00:30:00,680 Speaker 8: goes to school, does his thing, has a job, takes 486 00:30:00,760 --> 00:30:05,200 Speaker 8: care of his nana and he's just a wonderful human being. 487 00:30:05,520 --> 00:30:11,680 Speaker 8: To think that somebody is using that situation to rip 488 00:30:11,800 --> 00:30:15,400 Speaker 8: off the system, to me is unbelievable. We need to 489 00:30:15,440 --> 00:30:18,440 Speaker 8: get ahold of these people that are doing this. We 490 00:30:18,560 --> 00:30:20,920 Speaker 8: need to within the law, of course, but we need 491 00:30:21,000 --> 00:30:25,360 Speaker 8: to seize their assets. We need to mark them, no 492 00:30:25,800 --> 00:30:29,240 Speaker 8: not physically mark them, but know who they are so 493 00:30:29,360 --> 00:30:32,320 Speaker 8: that they will never ever be able to get back 494 00:30:32,360 --> 00:30:34,920 Speaker 8: in our country again, and deport their. 495 00:30:34,800 --> 00:30:36,200 Speaker 3: Asset as fast as possible. 496 00:30:36,520 --> 00:30:41,640 Speaker 8: Then we've got to my buddy's texted me right now, 497 00:30:41,960 --> 00:30:46,160 Speaker 8: buddy with authors oddly, and then what we need to 498 00:30:46,240 --> 00:30:50,200 Speaker 8: do then is to root out who in our government 499 00:30:50,320 --> 00:30:53,440 Speaker 8: allowed this to happen. That's the problem we have with 500 00:30:53,560 --> 00:30:57,200 Speaker 8: the conservative movement. We get a hold of these the 501 00:30:57,320 --> 00:31:00,320 Speaker 8: person at the tip of the spear, and then we 502 00:31:00,400 --> 00:31:01,480 Speaker 8: don't go down to the base. 503 00:31:02,280 --> 00:31:04,680 Speaker 3: And that's where the problem is the real problem. 504 00:31:04,720 --> 00:31:07,040 Speaker 8: Because they've allowed this to happen, they've been paid off, 505 00:31:07,200 --> 00:31:10,120 Speaker 8: or they've got they're so deep in whatever. 506 00:31:09,920 --> 00:31:12,240 Speaker 3: Department it is that they are. 507 00:31:13,640 --> 00:31:17,960 Speaker 8: There's some guntar that they are able to just move 508 00:31:18,000 --> 00:31:22,240 Speaker 8: around to another another area and that needs to stop. 509 00:31:23,920 --> 00:31:26,080 Speaker 8: Needs to stop. We need to stop it now. That's 510 00:31:26,120 --> 00:31:28,840 Speaker 8: why a lot of people didn't like Elon Musk. He 511 00:31:29,000 --> 00:31:31,160 Speaker 8: rooted this stuff out and pointed it out to us. 512 00:31:32,000 --> 00:31:34,680 Speaker 8: And I'm afraid you're going to find out you dig 513 00:31:34,720 --> 00:31:37,520 Speaker 8: deep enough in some of these scams that folks from 514 00:31:37,560 --> 00:31:39,920 Speaker 8: both parties are getting fat off of it and dad 515 00:31:39,960 --> 00:31:41,000 Speaker 8: gumming it needs to stop. 516 00:31:41,880 --> 00:31:44,080 Speaker 3: Thank y'all for seeing me here again. 517 00:31:44,200 --> 00:31:45,520 Speaker 2: Representative Tim Burchett. 518 00:31:46,280 --> 00:31:50,720 Speaker 1: I guess said his name inappropriately there or incorrectly a 519 00:31:50,800 --> 00:31:54,640 Speaker 1: moment ago, so I apologize. I know I don't typically 520 00:31:54,720 --> 00:31:57,920 Speaker 1: go and mispronounced things on the show. It's a rare occurrence. 521 00:31:58,040 --> 00:31:59,040 Speaker 2: It needs to stay that way. 522 00:32:00,080 --> 00:32:03,720 Speaker 1: Bill Glohn wraps up his piece regarding the panic over 523 00:32:04,280 --> 00:32:07,520 Speaker 1: TPS ending and says we are way, way, way beyond. 524 00:32:07,280 --> 00:32:08,840 Speaker 2: The stage of mere accusations. 525 00:32:09,800 --> 00:32:13,000 Speaker 1: However, just given the numbers involved, it's unlikely that many 526 00:32:13,120 --> 00:32:16,120 Speaker 1: of any of the four hundred and thirty on TPS 527 00:32:16,280 --> 00:32:19,320 Speaker 1: are guilty of massive fraud. The Star Tribune notes that 528 00:32:19,400 --> 00:32:22,800 Speaker 1: given the late date and the intricacies of the bureaucratic 529 00:32:22,880 --> 00:32:26,840 Speaker 1: process involved, TPS will likely remain in place until it 530 00:32:26,880 --> 00:32:31,720 Speaker 1: would have expired anyways. Nationwide, on March seventeenth. The Star 531 00:32:31,840 --> 00:32:35,800 Speaker 1: Tribune quotes the immigration attorney and says, our advice is 532 00:32:35,880 --> 00:32:38,680 Speaker 1: to stay calm, okay, but I think it's fair to 533 00:32:38,760 --> 00:32:42,280 Speaker 1: conclude that there is zero chance Trump will extend TPS 534 00:32:43,040 --> 00:32:46,120 Speaker 1: for those from Somalia status which is said to expire 535 00:32:46,800 --> 00:32:51,520 Speaker 1: in just one hundred and fourteen days nationwide. An earlier 536 00:32:51,600 --> 00:32:54,320 Speaker 1: Star Tribune report pegs the number of Somalis on TPS 537 00:32:54,440 --> 00:32:57,080 Speaker 1: nation wide at over seven hundred. When would be a 538 00:32:57,120 --> 00:32:59,640 Speaker 1: good time to panic? And again, if I were Trump, 539 00:32:59,640 --> 00:33:01,880 Speaker 1: I would just we say, okay, We'll wait until March seventeenth. 540 00:33:03,760 --> 00:33:05,400 Speaker 1: And that was the whole point in the first place 541 00:33:05,440 --> 00:33:09,720 Speaker 1: with this, was to be able to have a conversation. 542 00:33:11,120 --> 00:33:13,760 Speaker 1: Not that ending temporary protected status was going to end 543 00:33:13,840 --> 00:33:16,840 Speaker 1: up solving anything, but it did go and blow this 544 00:33:17,040 --> 00:33:21,040 Speaker 1: issue wide open and allow the opportunity to have that 545 00:33:21,240 --> 00:33:23,680 Speaker 1: dialogue that we're having right now and that is playing 546 00:33:23,840 --> 00:33:31,760 Speaker 1: out across the media. Channel five has a story, maybe 547 00:33:31,880 --> 00:33:35,800 Speaker 1: chuckle immigration lawyer, President Trump lacks the authority determine a 548 00:33:35,880 --> 00:33:40,800 Speaker 1: temporary protected status for Somali's in Minnesota right up until 549 00:33:40,840 --> 00:33:42,240 Speaker 1: he has the authority to do so. 550 00:33:42,360 --> 00:33:43,760 Speaker 2: It's such a missy leading headline. 551 00:33:44,800 --> 00:33:48,000 Speaker 1: Sorry, Long, an immigration attorney from Minnesota current partner at 552 00:33:48,000 --> 00:33:54,520 Speaker 1: the Colorado based Fagre Drinker, Biddle and Wreath, LLP, explain 553 00:33:54,560 --> 00:33:58,440 Speaker 1: the Trump administration has the authority to end the designation. 554 00:33:58,640 --> 00:34:03,440 Speaker 1: Early has been terminated or announced for at least seven 555 00:34:03,640 --> 00:34:07,920 Speaker 1: countries since January. However, contrary to the president's social media post, 556 00:34:08,640 --> 00:34:14,640 Speaker 1: Long said TPS was not terminated effective immediately for Somali's 557 00:34:14,640 --> 00:34:18,640 Speaker 1: in Minnesota or anywhere in the US. So he does 558 00:34:18,800 --> 00:34:22,800 Speaker 1: have the authority to terminate it, just not immediately. I 559 00:34:23,080 --> 00:34:24,319 Speaker 1: just again, it was. 560 00:34:24,320 --> 00:34:26,040 Speaker 2: Such an incredibly misleading headline. 561 00:34:27,880 --> 00:34:31,759 Speaker 1: US Homeland Security Secretary driving the point home of what 562 00:34:31,880 --> 00:34:34,960 Speaker 1: Trump did on Friday, she made a visit to the 563 00:34:34,960 --> 00:34:39,840 Speaker 1: Twin Cities on Sunday here to evaluate the TPS designation. 564 00:34:40,360 --> 00:34:43,440 Speaker 1: Here's a bit of the story from Fox nine as 565 00:34:43,520 --> 00:34:46,600 Speaker 1: they were conducting a Q and a with the Homeland 566 00:34:46,640 --> 00:34:49,320 Speaker 1: Security Secretary Secretary. 567 00:34:48,880 --> 00:34:52,000 Speaker 14: Nome, do you plan to terminate that Temporary Protected Status 568 00:34:52,080 --> 00:34:53,360 Speaker 14: designation for Somalia? 569 00:34:53,680 --> 00:34:54,680 Speaker 3: And on what basis we. 570 00:34:54,760 --> 00:34:58,480 Speaker 16: Plan to follow the process that's in law to evaluate TPS. 571 00:34:58,560 --> 00:35:00,640 Speaker 16: It was always meant to be put in place after 572 00:35:00,719 --> 00:35:03,640 Speaker 16: an incident or an event on a temporary basis. 573 00:35:03,360 --> 00:35:05,120 Speaker 2: And that's what the evaluation will be. 574 00:35:05,440 --> 00:35:09,959 Speaker 14: As Homeland Security Secretary Christy Noan points out, Somalia first 575 00:35:10,000 --> 00:35:14,440 Speaker 14: received Temporary Protected Status or TPS designation more than thirty 576 00:35:14,600 --> 00:35:16,160 Speaker 14: years ago in nineteen ninety one. 577 00:35:16,520 --> 00:35:19,080 Speaker 1: Let me posit here by the way I misidentified the station. 578 00:35:19,200 --> 00:35:22,280 Speaker 1: This is actually from Channel five, most. 579 00:35:22,120 --> 00:35:26,320 Speaker 14: Recently extended through March twenty twenty six, amid ongoing civil 580 00:35:26,400 --> 00:35:31,120 Speaker 14: war and political instability involving terrorist groups. Here's DFL lawyer 581 00:35:31,239 --> 00:35:34,560 Speaker 14: and former lobbyist Nancy Hilden on at issue Sunday morning. 582 00:35:34,800 --> 00:35:39,880 Speaker 7: Department of Homeland Security's own website says Somalia is a 583 00:35:40,000 --> 00:35:41,120 Speaker 7: Level four risk. 584 00:35:41,760 --> 00:35:45,279 Speaker 2: Level four means do not travel, it is not safe there. 585 00:35:45,480 --> 00:35:49,680 Speaker 14: President Trump's social media post calling for TPS termination does 586 00:35:49,760 --> 00:35:53,360 Speaker 14: not mention those current conditions facing the roughly seven hundred 587 00:35:53,440 --> 00:35:57,680 Speaker 14: Somali nationals in the US with TPS. Instead, he points 588 00:35:57,719 --> 00:36:02,200 Speaker 14: to fraud in Minnesota. However, Sari Long, an immigration attorney 589 00:36:02,200 --> 00:36:05,960 Speaker 14: from Minnesota, says historically a change in a country's condition 590 00:36:06,239 --> 00:36:10,280 Speaker 14: is included as justification, and she expects legal challenges to follow. 591 00:36:10,440 --> 00:36:13,000 Speaker 2: There would need to be more. It can't simply be 592 00:36:13,320 --> 00:36:16,920 Speaker 2: that there is this ongoing focus on fraud. In Minnesota 593 00:36:17,320 --> 00:36:18,840 Speaker 2: to cancel TPS federally. 594 00:36:19,160 --> 00:36:22,560 Speaker 14: Just to be clear on that TPS, is there a 595 00:36:22,680 --> 00:36:26,600 Speaker 14: changing condition that in the country that would give reason 596 00:36:26,840 --> 00:36:29,040 Speaker 14: for the termination of this designation. 597 00:36:29,400 --> 00:36:31,560 Speaker 16: Well, that's not under the purview that I have the 598 00:36:31,680 --> 00:36:34,919 Speaker 16: latitude to weigh in on. That's an evaluation that's done 599 00:36:34,960 --> 00:36:37,120 Speaker 16: by the federal government and that's what they'll look at, 600 00:36:37,239 --> 00:36:40,600 Speaker 16: is to see if something from thirty years ago when 601 00:36:40,719 --> 00:36:43,320 Speaker 16: this designation was given, if it still holds true, and 602 00:36:43,400 --> 00:36:46,080 Speaker 16: if the individuals still qualify for a TPS program. 603 00:36:46,400 --> 00:36:48,200 Speaker 14: But that will ultimately be your decision. 604 00:36:48,920 --> 00:36:50,800 Speaker 16: It will be something that will go through the process 605 00:36:50,880 --> 00:36:51,640 Speaker 16: on and evaluate. 606 00:36:53,719 --> 00:36:56,520 Speaker 14: And again, regardless of who is involved in this evaluation, 607 00:36:56,920 --> 00:37:00,759 Speaker 14: Secretary Nome is that final and only decision maker. I 608 00:37:00,760 --> 00:37:03,080 Speaker 14: should point out that the vast majority of Somali's in 609 00:37:03,160 --> 00:37:06,560 Speaker 14: Minnesota are now US citizens and have not been charged 610 00:37:06,960 --> 00:37:09,560 Speaker 14: or convicted of fraud. And what they did Secretary Nome 611 00:37:09,640 --> 00:37:12,879 Speaker 14: clarify whether this evaluation would be just for Somali's living 612 00:37:12,920 --> 00:37:16,000 Speaker 14: in Minnesota or would this decision have nationwide impact. Yeah, 613 00:37:16,000 --> 00:37:18,680 Speaker 14: we've been asking about that, and she did confirm today 614 00:37:18,760 --> 00:37:21,160 Speaker 14: that this is a federal policy and therefore it has 615 00:37:21,280 --> 00:37:22,920 Speaker 14: to be applied nationwide. 616 00:37:24,000 --> 00:37:26,160 Speaker 1: Got a couple of comments that rolled in and again 617 00:37:26,239 --> 00:37:30,440 Speaker 1: that story there from Channel five over the Homeland Security 618 00:37:30,520 --> 00:37:33,880 Speaker 1: Secretary Christy Nome visiting the state yesterday. I did have 619 00:37:33,920 --> 00:37:36,319 Speaker 1: a couple of comments that came into the iHeartRadio app 620 00:37:36,360 --> 00:37:39,880 Speaker 1: your talkbacks brought to you by Lindau Realty regarding the 621 00:37:39,960 --> 00:37:44,640 Speaker 1: police chief in Minneapolis essentially apologizing if he offended anybody 622 00:37:45,080 --> 00:37:48,279 Speaker 1: by saying that kids from East to Africa were the 623 00:37:48,360 --> 00:37:51,400 Speaker 1: ones that were primarily causing crime in downtown Minneapolis. 624 00:37:52,280 --> 00:37:55,880 Speaker 12: The police chief should have said, if you get offended 625 00:37:56,040 --> 00:37:59,880 Speaker 12: by hearing the truth, then perhaps you should reevaluate your 626 00:38:00,160 --> 00:38:02,960 Speaker 12: position instead of apologizing. 627 00:38:04,640 --> 00:38:07,759 Speaker 17: I don't think anyone other than left wing goofballs would 628 00:38:07,800 --> 00:38:12,200 Speaker 17: think that calling out the Somali crime is just labeling 629 00:38:12,320 --> 00:38:17,360 Speaker 17: everyone as a criminal. I'm Italian, and uh yeah, we 630 00:38:17,520 --> 00:38:20,320 Speaker 17: got the mafia thing going on, and we got the 631 00:38:21,080 --> 00:38:24,600 Speaker 17: extortion and the getting paid for not working and all 632 00:38:24,680 --> 00:38:28,680 Speaker 17: the crime that they've committed, and bless their little hearts, 633 00:38:28,800 --> 00:38:30,759 Speaker 17: but you know, I'm not part of that group. 634 00:38:33,880 --> 00:38:37,480 Speaker 4: Real quick, John, What if these people who are doing 635 00:38:37,520 --> 00:38:42,440 Speaker 4: all of this scribe for a community of that size 636 00:38:42,920 --> 00:38:44,040 Speaker 4: that they were from Russia? 637 00:38:44,360 --> 00:38:44,520 Speaker 3: Right? 638 00:38:45,520 --> 00:38:46,839 Speaker 4: What do you think would happen, then. 639 00:38:47,280 --> 00:38:48,200 Speaker 2: Yeah, it doesn't matter. 640 00:38:51,400 --> 00:38:53,080 Speaker 1: To deal with the problem, all you need to do 641 00:38:53,320 --> 00:38:57,440 Speaker 1: is just focus on holding people accountable if they're conducting 642 00:38:57,719 --> 00:38:58,640 Speaker 1: illegal activity. 643 00:38:58,760 --> 00:39:03,240 Speaker 2: It's that simple. I have this for Friday. 644 00:39:03,280 --> 00:39:07,560 Speaker 1: I want to go here now though new fraud unrelated 645 00:39:07,600 --> 00:39:10,200 Speaker 1: to what we're talking about, apart from putting it under 646 00:39:10,239 --> 00:39:13,400 Speaker 1: the larger umbrella of fraud. This comes from Cara Levin. 647 00:39:14,840 --> 00:39:17,640 Speaker 1: In an Eastside Saint Paul apartment, thirty nine year old 648 00:39:17,920 --> 00:39:22,279 Speaker 1: Rick Klemmer was found dead March seventh of twenty twenty five. 649 00:39:23,160 --> 00:39:26,920 Speaker 1: The death was ruled natural. The medical examiner cited in 650 00:39:27,000 --> 00:39:30,800 Speaker 1: a large heart, but his mother, Mickey Klemmer, believes was 651 00:39:30,880 --> 00:39:35,360 Speaker 1: written on. The autopsy report tells only parts of the story. 652 00:39:36,520 --> 00:39:39,200 Speaker 1: Rick battled serious mental illness for most of his adult 653 00:39:39,320 --> 00:39:44,000 Speaker 1: wife struggled with addiction when off his court ordered medication. 654 00:39:44,920 --> 00:39:50,720 Speaker 1: His past included civil commitments, incarceration, living in supervised settings 655 00:39:50,760 --> 00:39:54,239 Speaker 1: such as group homes. His family says he never lived 656 00:39:54,239 --> 00:39:56,880 Speaker 1: in his own home. Now that changed in the summer 657 00:39:56,920 --> 00:39:59,920 Speaker 1: of last year. He moved into his own apartment, support 658 00:40:00,239 --> 00:40:05,960 Speaker 1: by a Medicaid funded program called the Integrated Community Supports 659 00:40:06,160 --> 00:40:11,200 Speaker 1: or ICs. She said she'd visited weekly, usually spending whole 660 00:40:11,320 --> 00:40:14,960 Speaker 1: days at his apartment. I can definitely confirm that those 661 00:40:15,200 --> 00:40:17,560 Speaker 1: days there were there was nobody there. 662 00:40:18,160 --> 00:40:18,719 Speaker 3: I was there. 663 00:40:19,120 --> 00:40:22,960 Speaker 2: There was nobody here. Now Rick was found dead the 664 00:40:23,040 --> 00:40:23,480 Speaker 2: Saint Paul. 665 00:40:23,560 --> 00:40:26,360 Speaker 1: When Rick was found dead, the Saint Paul police questioned 666 00:40:26,360 --> 00:40:32,280 Speaker 1: an employee with Ultimate Home Health Services on the scene. 667 00:40:32,719 --> 00:40:37,719 Speaker 1: His answers sharply undercut the company's medicaid billing, So the 668 00:40:37,800 --> 00:40:41,880 Speaker 1: officer Rodriguez asks, when is the last time you know, 669 00:40:43,320 --> 00:40:46,319 Speaker 1: you guys know, when have you seen him or knew 670 00:40:46,360 --> 00:40:50,719 Speaker 1: that he was alive. Abdul Ibraham with the Ultimate Home 671 00:40:51,160 --> 00:40:56,239 Speaker 1: Health Services said yesterday. Rodriguez went and said around what time? 672 00:40:57,719 --> 00:41:01,399 Speaker 1: Ibraham said it was yesterday morning. He's the most one 673 00:41:01,440 --> 00:41:04,120 Speaker 1: of the most independent, you know, residents here, so we 674 00:41:04,760 --> 00:41:08,960 Speaker 1: don't got to do that much checking on him. When 675 00:41:09,040 --> 00:41:12,680 Speaker 1: asked if Rick was currently using drugs, the ICs worker responded, 676 00:41:13,080 --> 00:41:15,200 Speaker 1: I mean to be honest, I do my daily check ins. 677 00:41:15,239 --> 00:41:16,319 Speaker 2: I have no idea what he does. 678 00:41:17,800 --> 00:41:20,880 Speaker 1: That once a day check in stands in stark contrast 679 00:41:21,680 --> 00:41:25,840 Speaker 1: to the twelve hours of one to one care that 680 00:41:26,000 --> 00:41:31,360 Speaker 1: Ultimate Home claimed to provide each day. You see Mickey, 681 00:41:31,520 --> 00:41:35,000 Speaker 1: his mother believes that if Ultimate Home Health Services had 682 00:41:35,080 --> 00:41:39,640 Speaker 1: actually been seeing her son on one to one for 683 00:41:39,840 --> 00:41:43,200 Speaker 1: multiple hours every day as they claimed, they would have 684 00:41:43,280 --> 00:41:46,800 Speaker 1: called an ambulance in time to save him during the 685 00:41:46,920 --> 00:41:51,319 Speaker 1: medical emergency. I have more details about this new exposure 686 00:41:51,680 --> 00:41:55,600 Speaker 1: of fraud. Although we've talked about this integrated community services 687 00:41:55,719 --> 00:41:58,719 Speaker 1: before in the broader picture of talking about fraud, because 688 00:41:58,719 --> 00:42:01,160 Speaker 1: not the first time they've been in the news. So 689 00:42:01,200 --> 00:42:03,560 Speaker 1: I'll provide with you for you more examples of this 690 00:42:03,680 --> 00:42:06,480 Speaker 1: coming up. Also, Covenor Tim Wallson his bid for a 691 00:42:06,560 --> 00:42:10,480 Speaker 1: third term puts some Democrats on edge. That's the lead 692 00:42:10,560 --> 00:42:13,400 Speaker 1: story that's been on the front of the Star Tribune 693 00:42:13,440 --> 00:42:16,799 Speaker 1: since yesterday afternoon through this morning when I was doing 694 00:42:16,880 --> 00:42:18,880 Speaker 1: my prep, and I will share with you the details 695 00:42:19,200 --> 00:42:21,359 Speaker 1: coming up an hour three here on Twin City's News 696 00:42:21,400 --> 00:42:23,759 Speaker 1: Talk AM eleven thirty and one oh three five FM.
