I 0:00:42.360 --> 0:00:46.519 think we've got At twelve thirty, Janie Heisel. Janis, of 0:00:46.560 --> 0:00:50.360 course with the Epoch Times, she has been the premier 0:00:50.520 --> 0:00:55.320 reporter on this this Somalian thing. She's all over it, 0:00:55.880 --> 0:00:57.680 to the point where she's not going to tell you, 0:00:57.720 --> 0:00:58.280 but I will. 0:00:58.880 --> 0:01:00.560 You know at the end of the store that you 0:01:00.600 --> 0:01:04.400 can comment Newt Gingrich. Yeah you showed me that. Yeah, 0:01:04.640 --> 0:01:07.120 you know what, I'm gonna read it later. That's a 0:01:07.120 --> 0:01:09.360 pretty big deal, you know. So anyway, we're going to 0:01:09.440 --> 0:01:12.119 talk to Janis about that. We're going to have open 0:01:12.160 --> 0:01:16.600 lines from one o'clock to one thirty and uh, let's 0:01:16.600 --> 0:01:19.920 see one thirty. No, we got the Stooge review. I'm 0:01:19.959 --> 0:01:23.240 looking forward to this Eric Conroy, who is the Republican 0:01:23.280 --> 0:01:26.600 candidate for the first district. We're going to talk to him. 0:01:27.280 --> 0:01:31.320 Because of the redistricting, he's he's got a better district 0:01:31.400 --> 0:01:32.119 than he had. 0:01:32.280 --> 0:01:33.839 All I know is he went to elder He gets 0:01:33.840 --> 0:01:34.200 my vote. 0:01:34.280 --> 0:01:34.759 There you go. 0:01:34.840 --> 0:01:35.040 Man. 0:01:35.680 --> 0:01:38.559 His dad was in my class too, So doesn't get. 0:01:38.400 --> 0:01:43.240 Any better than that back in nineteen thirty five, don't 0:01:43.240 --> 0:01:47.080 remind me. Yeah, So, as you can imagine, I'm pretty 0:01:47.120 --> 0:01:49.160 fired up about this Minnesota thing. 0:01:50.040 --> 0:01:50.720 Unbelievable. 0:01:50.760 --> 0:01:53.760 I just welcome to America in twenty twenty five, and 0:01:53.800 --> 0:01:56.600 if you haven't followed it, there's a lot going on. 0:01:56.720 --> 0:02:00.240 So the federal government has spend trillions of dollars on 0:02:00.280 --> 0:02:03.280 welfare programs, and they have since the seventies. And somehow 0:02:03.320 --> 0:02:07.560 we're shocked and stunned when programs like this get exploited 0:02:07.680 --> 0:02:10.920 at unprecedented levels. And like you said, the story's out 0:02:10.960 --> 0:02:15.240 of Minnesota. It's a massive welfare fraud scandal AND's unfolded 0:02:15.280 --> 0:02:20.040 like a terrible parody of Robinhood, except where the stealing 0:02:20.080 --> 0:02:21.840 from the rich to give to the poor. This courage 0:02:21.840 --> 0:02:24.720 just steals from taxpayers to fund mansions and luxury cars. 0:02:24.760 --> 0:02:30.400 And even we're finding out probably terrorism and the basic outline. 0:02:30.400 --> 0:02:33.240 And you know this, during COVID, the government decided, hey, 0:02:33.320 --> 0:02:35.680 let's throw money at anyone who says they're feeding children. 0:02:36.520 --> 0:02:39.799 Feeding our future is the main nonprofit here. Suddenly they 0:02:39.880 --> 0:02:43.079 explode from moving a few million dollars, and that's what's insane. 0:02:43.520 --> 0:02:45.720 In twenty nineteen they were doing something like three and 0:02:45.720 --> 0:02:48.560 a half million dollars, right right, twenty twenty one, it's 0:02:48.600 --> 0:02:49.639 like one hundred million. 0:02:49.800 --> 0:02:51.320 How do you who's watch it? 0:02:51.320 --> 0:02:55.760 It's astonishing, And it's fake meal sites, fake attendance rosters. 0:02:56.040 --> 0:02:59.880 Cafeterias supposedly served sout thousands of meals a day, but 0:03:00.080 --> 0:03:03.799 nobody showed up. So the people behind these operations are 0:03:03.800 --> 0:03:06.919 literally buying cars that cost more than the homes of 0:03:07.000 --> 0:03:09.440 taxpayers funding the program, which is disgusting. 0:03:09.639 --> 0:03:11.880 That's like Black Lives Matter, that's what they did. They 0:03:11.919 --> 0:03:12.639 bought condos. 0:03:12.680 --> 0:03:15.399 Yeah, And to that end, it's us, the peasants who 0:03:15.440 --> 0:03:18.040 get lectured about equity while we all fut the bill 0:03:18.120 --> 0:03:20.600 for these do goods that are ripping us all life. 0:03:20.800 --> 0:03:24.880 Just the extent of this thing is just unbelievable, and 0:03:24.919 --> 0:03:26.239 it's the tip of the iceberg. 0:03:26.440 --> 0:03:28.480 The kicker And I don't know if you knew this. 0:03:28.840 --> 0:03:31.880 The kicker is when the and I can't remember the 0:03:31.960 --> 0:03:35.800 name of it, but it was some Minnesota government employees 0:03:35.920 --> 0:03:40.080 organization or union tried to stop this. The people that 0:03:40.120 --> 0:03:43.400 were scamming them, the food pantries that were just scams, 0:03:43.760 --> 0:03:47.360 sued the state and claimed discrimination. So you're racist for 0:03:47.400 --> 0:03:51.200 not letting us hundreds of millions of dollars anymore, because again, 0:03:51.240 --> 0:03:56.640 you know, in modern America, calling something discriminatory is more powerful. 0:03:56.160 --> 0:03:57.160 Than evidence of front. 0:03:57.240 --> 0:04:00.720 Well, I mean that's starting to change, I think, But yeah, 0:04:00.760 --> 0:04:03.320 none of them want to be get the racist tag 0:04:03.360 --> 0:04:05.040 on them or god. 0:04:04.840 --> 0:04:08.760 Forbid islama phobic right, right, And let's we got to 0:04:08.800 --> 0:04:11.640 just ask the obvious question that nobody on the progressive 0:04:11.680 --> 0:04:14.480 left will ask or even touch with a ten foot 0:04:14.480 --> 0:04:17.960 poll is why does welfare fraud keep happening at this scale? 0:04:18.000 --> 0:04:21.520 And the answer is twofold one incentives. Yeah, if you 0:04:21.560 --> 0:04:24.039 tell people there's free money available and no one's checking 0:04:24.040 --> 0:04:27.320 the receipts, it's going to shock you all. Someone's gonna 0:04:27.320 --> 0:04:31.600 steal that money and welfare without verifications, like giving your 0:04:31.600 --> 0:04:34.840 Netflix password to the entire dorm in college and being 0:04:34.880 --> 0:04:38.000 surprised your monthly bill is now a thousand dollars and 0:04:38.080 --> 0:04:41.400 the two The second reason is bureaucrats are terrified of 0:04:41.480 --> 0:04:44.920 enforcement because enforcement might offend somebody like we saw here, 0:04:45.320 --> 0:04:47.360 because you say, okay, these people are stealing hundreds of 0:04:47.400 --> 0:04:48.200 millions of dollars. 0:04:48.320 --> 0:04:50.680 Then they get sued for races like discrimination. 0:04:50.839 --> 0:04:53.599 It's insane. You know. The other thing too, is there 0:04:53.760 --> 0:04:58.039 is no way on God's green earth that Tim Waltz 0:04:58.120 --> 0:05:01.159 did not know about it. How could he not? Yeah? 0:05:01.160 --> 0:05:01.800 How could he not? 0:05:02.120 --> 0:05:03.880 Yeah? And what's now that this is breaking? 0:05:03.880 --> 0:05:05.960 And again I can't remember the name of the outfit, 0:05:06.480 --> 0:05:09.200 but whatever the outfit was, that was like Minnesota state 0:05:09.240 --> 0:05:14.320 government employees tweeted out when this broke, like, hey, DNC, 0:05:14.760 --> 0:05:17.039 we told you guys, don't pick Tim Walls as the 0:05:17.120 --> 0:05:20.040 vice president because he's been essentially turning a blind eye 0:05:20.080 --> 0:05:22.800 to hundreds of millions of dollars of fraud. And I 0:05:22.839 --> 0:05:25.799 think it's very curious that this story is just coming 0:05:25.800 --> 0:05:28.360 out now, you know what I mean, of course, conveniently 0:05:28.400 --> 0:05:31.080 a few years after the election. But and all this 0:05:31.160 --> 0:05:34.440 is happening in the background, the same politicians who like 0:05:35.240 --> 0:05:38.760 designed this entire thing go on TV and insist that 0:05:38.800 --> 0:05:41.799 we need more programs, and it's like, well, more spending, 0:05:41.800 --> 0:05:45.920 more bureaucracy, because carrying carring is like measured by outcomes, 0:05:45.960 --> 0:05:48.599 but not how many zeros you attach. 0:05:48.360 --> 0:05:49.120 On the next bill. 0:05:49.240 --> 0:05:52.640 It's been that way since the sixties with the programs. Yeah, 0:05:53.279 --> 0:05:55.800 some of which were good, most of which were just 0:05:55.839 --> 0:05:59.599 a big waste of money. LBJ got that ball rolling. Yeah, 0:06:00.279 --> 0:06:03.880 Tim Walt's that guy is a goof Why does he 0:06:03.920 --> 0:06:07.880 get a what? I can't understand these people go and vote. 0:06:08.640 --> 0:06:11.000 What are they thinking? I mean, I know they don't 0:06:11.040 --> 0:06:13.440 think like you and I, but right, you know, I mean, 0:06:13.440 --> 0:06:13.880 here's the thing. 0:06:13.920 --> 0:06:16.640 You and I don't know anything about Minnesota other than 0:06:16.640 --> 0:06:17.159 it's cold. 0:06:17.200 --> 0:06:18.480 In their accents are annoying. 0:06:19.160 --> 0:06:22.600 But the minute the guy walked on stage, I mean 0:06:22.760 --> 0:06:25.320 not to generalize, but the guy walks on stage and 0:06:25.560 --> 0:06:28.640 he's like having a seizure, like he's on crystal meth 0:06:28.720 --> 0:06:31.680 and like the both hands waving and like the weird 0:06:31.880 --> 0:06:36.200 It's like this guy's either on something, there's something. The 0:06:36.240 --> 0:06:40.880 word buffoon big time. But that's the point. Is this 0:06:40.960 --> 0:06:44.599 scandal isn't a glitch. It's it's the function. It's not 0:06:44.640 --> 0:06:47.279 a it's not the defect, it's the effect, and it's 0:06:47.600 --> 0:06:50.960 it's it's a preview because any system like this, the 0:06:51.040 --> 0:06:52.839 COVID funding and all this kind of stuff that was 0:06:52.920 --> 0:06:58.480 just built on unlimited funding with no oversight and ideological 0:06:58.600 --> 0:07:03.039 like paralys it's going to collapse under its own weight 0:07:03.160 --> 0:07:05.800 because it's if we refuse to fix this stuff, and 0:07:05.880 --> 0:07:09.400 welfare ceases to be charity and it's just expected, it 0:07:09.480 --> 0:07:13.360 becomes a business model for criminals. And you say, like, hey, 0:07:13.360 --> 0:07:15.320 they're stealing this stuff. Well, you can't say that because 0:07:15.360 --> 0:07:17.880 that's racist. It's like, what the hell's going on here? 0:07:17.960 --> 0:07:21.880 Well, you know, and I'm pretty sure Ohio has like 0:07:21.920 --> 0:07:26.920 an ig inspector general that looks into these things and policism. 0:07:27.160 --> 0:07:30.320 How in the hell do they not police a billion 0:07:30.400 --> 0:07:31.760 dollar plus program? 0:07:31.880 --> 0:07:35.320 Think about this, that feeding families or whatever the big one, right, 0:07:35.800 --> 0:07:39.480 Think about how confident you have to be that you're 0:07:39.520 --> 0:07:42.560 not going to be held accountable that when people ring 0:07:42.600 --> 0:07:45.160 the bell on you, like when people ring the alarm 0:07:45.240 --> 0:07:48.600 that you're stealing millions of dollars, rather than like call 0:07:48.640 --> 0:07:52.400 a defense attorney, rather than seize the fraud, they file 0:07:52.520 --> 0:07:56.920 a lawsuit to continue the theft, Like that's that is 0:07:57.000 --> 0:08:01.080 so stunningly arrogant. And I don't need evidence that Tim 0:08:01.120 --> 0:08:03.400 Walls knew about this. That's all I need to know 0:08:03.520 --> 0:08:07.080 is that these people were so confident that they weren't 0:08:07.120 --> 0:08:09.360 going to be held accountable that they sued the people 0:08:09.400 --> 0:08:10.680 trying to hold them accountable. 0:08:10.720 --> 0:08:13.280 That's just well, you know, you hear a lot these 0:08:13.360 --> 0:08:17.760 days about affordability. There's one reason one. I'm more interested 0:08:17.920 --> 0:08:21.720 in account ability, absolutely, and somebody has to be held 0:08:21.720 --> 0:08:23.360 accountable for that mess. 0:08:23.400 --> 0:08:25.360 Well, you stop and think about this like, and I 0:08:25.440 --> 0:08:27.680 do this a lot. Like you see that number, that's 0:08:27.760 --> 0:08:31.360 like two hundred million dollars. What if somebody went to 0:08:31.400 --> 0:08:34.080 the worst part of Price Hill right now and said 0:08:34.160 --> 0:08:37.680 I'm going to invest two hundred million dollars in this neighborhood, 0:08:37.920 --> 0:08:42.520 that would fundamentally change that entire neighborhood. But instead that 0:08:42.600 --> 0:08:47.600 two hundred million went to possibly Somali terrorists. That's the thing, man, 0:08:48.000 --> 0:08:50.280 And you know, I'm gonna ask Janis about this. Janis 0:08:50.320 --> 0:08:53.920 Heiseel in her story she talks to someone I forget 0:08:53.920 --> 0:08:57.240 who it is, someone of some stature, and they said, 0:08:57.240 --> 0:08:59.720 they're pretty damn sure that it went over there. 0:09:00.040 --> 0:09:01.120 We're a terrorist people. 0:09:01.200 --> 0:09:06.200 Yeah, I just don't understand how you know people especially, 0:09:06.280 --> 0:09:07.439 And that's why it's the design. 0:09:07.480 --> 0:09:08.280 It's not the glitch. 0:09:08.640 --> 0:09:11.720 Anybody logical who gives a crap about being a public 0:09:11.760 --> 0:09:15.320 steward of tax dollars would realize, like, hey, a welfare 0:09:15.400 --> 0:09:19.439 program that doesn't require verification is not a safety net. 0:09:19.520 --> 0:09:23.080 It's an ATM for anyone who's got the cajones enough 0:09:23.120 --> 0:09:24.560 to go grab the free cash. 0:09:24.679 --> 0:09:28.120 Like it just makes absolutely no sense. But yeah, here 0:09:28.160 --> 0:09:28.400 we are. 0:09:29.800 --> 0:09:32.280 Well, we'll be talking about that throughout the show, and 0:09:32.760 --> 0:09:36.040 I'll be talking about tomorrow on Saturday midday because it's 0:09:36.080 --> 0:09:36.600 a big one. 0:09:36.720 --> 0:09:41.760 No, And what I want to talk to, what talk 0:09:41.840 --> 0:09:46.000 to janis about, is if because people keep talking about 0:09:46.080 --> 0:09:50.600 how how Ilana Omar may be attached to this, and 0:09:50.640 --> 0:09:53.160 I don't know if that's just conjecture because she's a 0:09:53.200 --> 0:09:57.160 scumbag and a terrorist sympathizer. But if there's a god 0:09:57.200 --> 0:10:00.280 in heaven, if there is a god in heaven, there 0:10:00.320 --> 0:10:03.600 will be like red handed evidence that shows that Ilan 0:10:03.800 --> 0:10:07.440 Omar was involved in Honest to God, I want someone 0:10:07.480 --> 0:10:11.319 to name a politician in American politics that has gotten 0:10:11.320 --> 0:10:13.760 away with more in a long period of time than 0:10:13.800 --> 0:10:14.160 she has. 0:10:14.440 --> 0:10:17.920 She married her brother to scam the immigration system. 0:10:18.960 --> 0:10:21.559 That's I know. I mean, somebody's got a lot of 0:10:21.600 --> 0:10:24.680 family from the Hollers in Kentucky. You know, that's offensive joke. 0:10:24.760 --> 0:10:28.160 But what I'm saying is it is astonishing to me 0:10:28.720 --> 0:10:32.000 that in one state, in one period of time, there 0:10:32.040 --> 0:10:35.440 are that many politicians like ilhan Omar and Tim Walls 0:10:35.440 --> 0:10:38.080 that have zero accountability whatsoever. 0:10:38.440 --> 0:10:40.640 Well, I mean, if you look at the presidential race, 0:10:40.679 --> 0:10:43.840 we were talking about it with respect to Kamala, she 0:10:43.960 --> 0:10:47.560 would not pick Shapiro. She couldn't because that would piss 0:10:47.600 --> 0:10:52.920 off her radical anti Semitic base, and that's how they 0:10:53.000 --> 0:10:53.520 do things. 0:10:53.600 --> 0:10:55.400 She can witch. You see him this week. 0:10:55.840 --> 0:10:57.120 I heard, I heard. 0:10:57.360 --> 0:10:59.360 My god, it's a good thing. I don't I saw 0:10:59.440 --> 0:11:02.280 the actual written quote. And we're talking. I guess Josh 0:11:02.280 --> 0:11:08.760 Shapiro went off on some reporters this week about somebody. 0:11:08.800 --> 0:11:11.920 I guess the reporter had asked about Kamala Harris and 0:11:12.559 --> 0:11:15.560 that he was actually measuring the drapes to the Oval 0:11:15.600 --> 0:11:18.720 office and he blew his top. He said, I think 0:11:18.720 --> 0:11:21.120 he used the word BS, like, not the initials like, 0:11:21.160 --> 0:11:23.840 actually said the word BS. And he said, she's just 0:11:23.920 --> 0:11:26.559 trying to sell books. I gotta be honest, Like if 0:11:26.559 --> 0:11:31.160 you thought the twenty sixteen primary debate stage was entertaining 0:11:31.720 --> 0:11:34.280 with like Trump going off on all these people, Trump 0:11:34.320 --> 0:11:36.439 talking about, you know the way Casik eats in this 0:11:36.480 --> 0:11:40.920 one's hands, the debate stage with Kamala Harris, Josh Shapiro, 0:11:42.040 --> 0:11:45.960 Mayor Pete, all the people that she has just smoked 0:11:46.000 --> 0:11:47.400 in her book, all on. 0:11:47.400 --> 0:11:50.360 The same stoes. She's she's not gonna be able to 0:11:50.360 --> 0:11:52.840 get elected dogcatch. Yeah, I'll be honest, I wonder if 0:11:52.880 --> 0:11:55.679 she actually runs. I bet at the end of the 0:11:55.800 --> 0:11:58.280 day she doesn't. And I might as well confess here. 0:11:58.360 --> 0:12:01.720 I confessed on Saturday midday I bought her book, did you? 0:12:02.200 --> 0:12:04.880 And I couldn't help it, man, I wanted to. And 0:12:04.920 --> 0:12:08.240 it was everybody's fault but hers. And she talks about 0:12:08.240 --> 0:12:11.280 waking up the morning after the election and just being 0:12:11.360 --> 0:12:16.360 kind of frozen, saying audibly to herself, what's gonna happen 0:12:16.440 --> 0:12:17.080 to the country? 0:12:17.280 --> 0:12:20.400 No, you didn't every again, that's it. She is the 0:12:20.480 --> 0:12:24.400 shining example of something. And I was talking to somebody 0:12:24.400 --> 0:12:26.680 this week about it, and they basically say, what's other 0:12:26.720 --> 0:12:30.400 than bad policy, what's the most annoying thing about Democrats. 0:12:30.400 --> 0:12:33.920 And one of my friends said, it's the performative nature 0:12:34.000 --> 0:12:37.600 of them, that everything's a performance. Everything's a protest from 0:12:37.679 --> 0:12:41.480 Nancy Pelosi kneeling with a dashiki on with everybody in 0:12:41.520 --> 0:12:45.080 Democrat Congress when George Floyd was murdered, Remember them all 0:12:45.160 --> 0:12:50.240 kneeling from that to the it's all it's all performative 0:12:50.240 --> 0:12:53.720 and that, and Kamala Harris sums that up in a 0:12:53.760 --> 0:12:58.679 person she personifies. There's no substance. No, it's all talking points, 0:12:59.120 --> 0:13:02.000 there's no authentic his city, it's all what the the 0:13:03.200 --> 0:13:06.320 focus groups tell her to say. I'll be honest with you. 0:13:06.360 --> 0:13:08.440 And I said this to somebody and they got really mad, 0:13:08.480 --> 0:13:11.760 and I stand by it. There's not much to her, No, 0:13:12.080 --> 0:13:14.839 I know, I patently disagree with Hillary Clinton, but I 0:13:14.840 --> 0:13:18.280 could admit she is a brilliant woman. No, she's an 0:13:18.400 --> 0:13:22.880 educated there, she's an educated person. She's she is a 0:13:23.240 --> 0:13:26.600 very quote unquote good politician. She uses her powers for evil. 0:13:27.240 --> 0:13:30.360 Kamala Harris has no political talent whatsoever. And it just 0:13:30.600 --> 0:13:34.440 she can't hold a conversation anywhere. Yeah, I mean a 0:13:34.600 --> 0:13:35.480 meaningful one. 0:13:35.559 --> 0:13:35.760 Right. 0:13:36.280 --> 0:13:38.280 If you've seen that, well, I forget what her name is. 0:13:38.400 --> 0:13:45.040 She she imitates, she does impressions of Saturday Night. She 0:13:45.240 --> 0:13:49.040 even looks like her. No, I don't think that's somebody different. Yeah, 0:13:49.320 --> 0:13:52.480 she's got the cackle. She's got that cackle down perfect. 0:13:53.120 --> 0:13:54.280 Maybe you'll find it and play it. 0:13:54.480 --> 0:13:55.160 Yeah, we'll have to. 0:13:55.240 --> 0:13:59.360 But it's what's frustrating about it is it is fun 0:13:59.360 --> 0:14:02.160 to watch that themmocrats flail. But when you look at 0:14:02.200 --> 0:14:05.520 some of the polling numbers coming up for coming up 0:14:05.520 --> 0:14:08.440 for the midterms, it's it's weird. They didn't have their 0:14:08.480 --> 0:14:10.000 you know what together for months and now all of 0:14:10.040 --> 0:14:15.640 a sudden, just because of the of the uh, what's 0:14:15.720 --> 0:14:18.760 gonna call it, just because of the economy and all 0:14:18.760 --> 0:14:20.440 that kind of stuff, Democrats are back in the game 0:14:20.560 --> 0:14:21.440 so well. 0:14:21.520 --> 0:14:22.760 It kind of scares me, to be What. 0:14:22.840 --> 0:14:25.280 Worries me and you and I were talking about it 0:14:25.320 --> 0:14:30.160 is the mega people, the hardcore mega people. They don't 0:14:30.160 --> 0:14:32.280 go out to vote if Trump ain't on the ballot, 0:14:32.600 --> 0:14:35.480 and if that happens, then we're gonna lose the House 0:14:35.520 --> 0:14:38.120 and maybe the Senate. He's got to do whatever he's 0:14:38.160 --> 0:14:39.280 got to do to get him out. 0:14:39.400 --> 0:14:39.680 Yeah. 0:14:39.760 --> 0:14:41.680 And the other thing is too and me and sheriff 0:14:41.720 --> 0:14:43.400 were talking about this before he went on the air, 0:14:43.440 --> 0:14:47.520 and I think you'd agree with it. Trump's messaging on 0:14:47.560 --> 0:14:50.160 the economy has not been good. And yeah, he's been 0:14:50.200 --> 0:14:52.480 great with Israel and he's been great with that messaging, 0:14:52.480 --> 0:14:54.480 and he's done the world a lot of favors. But 0:14:55.320 --> 0:14:58.120 you know, the his base is about domestic issues, you 0:14:58.160 --> 0:15:01.040 know what I mean. And the economy is getting better, 0:15:01.080 --> 0:15:02.920 but he keeps saying and day, I gotta give Dave 0:15:02.960 --> 0:15:05.600 credit for this. He said the economy is getting better, 0:15:05.600 --> 0:15:08.480 but Trump keeps saying things are now cheaper. And it's like, no, 0:15:08.640 --> 0:15:10.400 you can't say that. What you need to say is 0:15:10.880 --> 0:15:15.120 I inherited the biggest disaster of a presidency. I've only 0:15:15.160 --> 0:15:17.760 been here a year. Give me some time to fix this. 0:15:17.840 --> 0:15:20.280 But we all know Trump being wired that way is 0:15:20.680 --> 0:15:23.360 remember when he said I'll fix the criminal justice system 0:15:23.360 --> 0:15:25.640 in two or three weeks. You and I just started 0:15:25.680 --> 0:15:28.960 howling because we're like, oh my god, don I believe 0:15:28.960 --> 0:15:30.160 in you, man, But two and. 0:15:30.200 --> 0:15:33.520 A half centuries maybe you know, Yeah, it took a 0:15:33.560 --> 0:15:34.640 long time to screw it up. 0:15:34.680 --> 0:15:36.520 It's gonna take a long time to fix it all man. 0:15:36.600 --> 0:15:40.960 But sometimes he just talks too much take the truth 0:15:41.040 --> 0:15:42.720 social away from him. 0:15:42.720 --> 0:15:45.520 Say I voted for that, man, I love it. I 0:15:45.560 --> 0:15:48.040 think he's hilarious, and I get it. It's my own, you know, 0:15:48.160 --> 0:15:51.320 my own selfishness. But yeah, the fact that he's like 0:15:51.440 --> 0:15:53.440 back on social media is entertaining. 0:15:53.640 --> 0:15:56.760 Yeah, he's not shy about I think he wakes up 0:15:56.760 --> 0:15:58.520 in the middle of the night and things, Ah, you 0:15:58.560 --> 0:15:59.600 know what, I'm gonna tweet that. 0:16:00.320 --> 0:16:02.440 The thing I missed the most about the Trump presidency, 0:16:02.560 --> 0:16:05.800 other than a functioning president, was getting up every morning, 0:16:05.960 --> 0:16:09.240 making my cup of coffee and opening up Twitter to 0:16:09.320 --> 0:16:12.280 see the latest outlandish, hilarious thing that he said. And 0:16:12.320 --> 0:16:14.560 it was like, for four years, I didn't get that laugh. 0:16:14.600 --> 0:16:16.280 And now it's like, oh, he's coming out of his Shelly. 0:16:17.120 --> 0:16:21.200 I remember the debates in twenty sixteen, and this is 0:16:21.200 --> 0:16:25.120 how much I know. I thought, George what's his face Bush? Yeah, 0:16:25.600 --> 0:16:29.120 was going to be the candidate. And you know that 0:16:29.160 --> 0:16:32.760 didn't even happen at all. Trump just bulldozed everybody. Hey, listen, 0:16:32.760 --> 0:16:34.240 we got to take a break for the news. But 0:16:34.840 --> 0:16:37.040 when we get back, we are going to be talking 0:16:37.080 --> 0:16:43.880 to the aforementioned Janie Heisel about that mess in Minnesota 0:16:43.920 --> 0:16:46.240 and we'll do that when we get back from the news. 0:16:46.920 --> 0:16:50.160 Mike Allen Senior, Mike Allen Junior in for Willie seven 0:16:50.200 --> 0:16:59.280 hundred WLW. Hey, we're back, Mike Allen, Mike Allen Jr. 0:16:59.320 --> 0:17:03.280 In for the Great American Willie Cunningham. Hey, I wanted 0:17:03.320 --> 0:17:06.560 to say this before I forget. We've got open lines 0:17:06.640 --> 0:17:09.840 from one o'clock to one thirty. So if you want 0:17:09.880 --> 0:17:12.520 to call seven four nine, seven thousand, one, eight hundred 0:17:12.560 --> 0:17:16.520 the big one are the numbers. In the meantime, I'll 0:17:16.520 --> 0:17:19.399 tell you what, Mike. Every day it seems to be 0:17:19.480 --> 0:17:26.760 something new about this monumental scandal in Minnesota. Billions of dollars. 0:17:26.440 --> 0:17:29.520 It's it's not just a little chunk. It's a big 0:17:29.520 --> 0:17:33.040 old chunk. And I've got a few years on me, 0:17:33.119 --> 0:17:36.400 as you well know. It might be the biggest taxpayer 0:17:36.480 --> 0:17:38.399 ripoff that I've ever heard of. 0:17:38.600 --> 0:17:40.320 It's amazing, it really is. 0:17:41.000 --> 0:17:44.760 Janis Heisel of the Epoch Times has been all over 0:17:44.840 --> 0:17:49.879 this thing, all over it, and she actually was recognized 0:17:49.960 --> 0:17:52.680 and she's too modest to read it. So I'm going 0:17:52.760 --> 0:17:57.080 to read it. None out of than Newt Gangrich sent this. 0:17:57.920 --> 0:17:59.800 You know, after they have a story, you know, you 0:17:59.840 --> 0:18:02.960 can put you can put your comments down. That's what 0:18:03.080 --> 0:18:06.879 Newt did. Anyway, bear with me here because it should 0:18:06.920 --> 0:18:10.399 be read. Janis Heisel's article and Epoch Times on the 0:18:10.480 --> 0:18:16.359 gigantic scale of fraud in Minnesota is an extraordinarily clear 0:18:16.520 --> 0:18:20.359 and well done article about one of the biggest examples 0:18:20.520 --> 0:18:27.240 of government socialism's inevitable tendency toward corruption and favoritism. It 0:18:27.320 --> 0:18:30.720 should be a must read, must reading for every citizen 0:18:30.920 --> 0:18:34.480 I agree with that who once honest government and realizes 0:18:34.760 --> 0:18:38.960 how big a problem corruption has become. Now, I would 0:18:39.000 --> 0:18:41.520 submit to you, it doesn't get any better than that. Hell, 0:18:41.520 --> 0:18:45.200 though the afore mentioned Janis is with us. Janis, thanks 0:18:45.200 --> 0:18:46.760 so much for joining us today. 0:18:48.119 --> 0:18:50.119 Thank you so much for sharing that as well that 0:18:51.640 --> 0:18:56.359 I was really quite humbled to receive that really nice endorsement. 0:18:56.640 --> 0:18:59.879 That's a big deal. That's a big deal. Well, I 0:19:00.080 --> 0:19:03.200 guess the first question is I mean, anything new since 0:19:03.520 --> 0:19:06.520 you wrote a story the day before yesterday, I think 0:19:07.000 --> 0:19:10.560 anything new popping on this thing because you're all over it. 0:19:11.720 --> 0:19:14.040 Well, it seems like there's something new all the time. 0:19:14.119 --> 0:19:16.560 Right now, I'm actually working on a story about the 0:19:16.560 --> 0:19:22.000 fact that the House Oversight Committee is demanding some answers 0:19:22.160 --> 0:19:26.399 from Governor Tim Waltz as well as his the Minnesota 0:19:26.600 --> 0:19:31.600 Attorney General, Keith Ellison, and they're basically saying, look, there 0:19:31.600 --> 0:19:34.840 are allegations that you guys were aware of the fraud 0:19:35.000 --> 0:19:39.080 and covered it up or ignored it because you were 0:19:39.080 --> 0:19:41.080 worried about political ramisis. 0:19:41.600 --> 0:19:47.919 It's pretty bad. That's unbelievable. Gennis you there, Yeah, I 0:19:47.920 --> 0:19:49.960 think we lost her. Yeah, we lost her. What I 0:19:50.040 --> 0:19:52.120 want to ask her, she'll call back. What I want 0:19:52.119 --> 0:19:55.719 to ask her is is there any possibility of the 0:19:55.760 --> 0:19:57.280 government recouping any of this? 0:19:57.840 --> 0:19:58.000 Oh? 0:19:58.040 --> 0:19:59.920 My, you know what I mean, I doubt And then 0:20:00.040 --> 0:20:02.320 who does that fall to? Is it Minnesota or is 0:20:02.359 --> 0:20:04.240 it the federal government? 0:20:04.320 --> 0:20:06.760 Well, the feder involved in it now, right from what 0:20:06.840 --> 0:20:09.600 I understand from reading it, it was although I'm sure 0:20:09.640 --> 0:20:12.239 federal money was in there somewhere, Yeah, it was up 0:20:12.280 --> 0:20:16.840 to the state to keep uh, you know, keep it going, honestly. 0:20:16.520 --> 0:20:18.240 Yeah, And that was gonna be a question are these 0:20:18.280 --> 0:20:20.119 state funds or federal funds? And then is it up 0:20:20.160 --> 0:20:22.800 to the Feds to go get the federal money? Well, 0:20:22.840 --> 0:20:24.640 I mean, I can't imagine it's easy to find they're 0:20:24.640 --> 0:20:26.800 buying cars and houses and all that kind of stuff. 0:20:26.840 --> 0:20:30.200 You know what I mean, if there are criminal charges 0:20:30.240 --> 0:20:32.800 to be had, which there has to be, you know 0:20:32.880 --> 0:20:36.800 from your federal work that we did that there's a statute, 0:20:36.840 --> 0:20:38.400 the federal statute for everything. 0:20:38.520 --> 0:20:38.720 Yeah. 0:20:38.760 --> 0:20:40.359 And this is just out and out theft. 0:20:40.520 --> 0:20:42.760 Yeah. Yeah. And that's the thing is, I don't know. 0:20:45.840 --> 0:20:48.120 It's hard for me to believe that this just came 0:20:48.160 --> 0:20:49.600 out now, I know what I mean. 0:20:49.720 --> 0:20:51.760 We got her back, Yeah, we got Jannis backed, Mike. 0:20:53.880 --> 0:20:56.040
