1 00:00:00,560 --> 00:00:05,200 Speaker 1: In the mainstream media nationwide. I won't bury what, I'll 2 00:00:05,240 --> 00:00:08,240 Speaker 1: break down. Let me just give you the let me 3 00:00:08,240 --> 00:00:12,240 Speaker 1: give you the framework. So yesterday there was a new 4 00:00:12,280 --> 00:00:17,079 Speaker 1: story that erupted saying that disability waivers were going to 5 00:00:17,120 --> 00:00:20,920 Speaker 1: be halted for the next two years. This is DHS 6 00:00:20,960 --> 00:00:26,720 Speaker 1: doing this for various social service programs. Okay, So DHS 7 00:00:26,920 --> 00:00:31,000 Speaker 1: is actually doing what they should have been doing all along. 8 00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:35,440 Speaker 1: Now they have another excuse for this, and I'll explain 9 00:00:35,520 --> 00:00:38,680 Speaker 1: when I get there, But basically, there's been this massive 10 00:00:38,760 --> 00:00:42,760 Speaker 1: increase in demand for these disability waivers costing a lot 11 00:00:42,800 --> 00:00:46,120 Speaker 1: of money. Same thing that we have seen when it 12 00:00:46,120 --> 00:00:49,400 Speaker 1: comes to health and human services with daycare center fraud, 13 00:00:49,440 --> 00:00:51,800 Speaker 1: with the autism fraud, all of it. Okay, So DHS 14 00:00:51,880 --> 00:00:53,760 Speaker 1: is finally doing what they should have done all along 15 00:00:54,440 --> 00:00:59,279 Speaker 1: when there was a massive funding request increase from these 16 00:00:59,320 --> 00:01:01,600 Speaker 1: various entities, and then they waited, they waited, they waited, 17 00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:03,640 Speaker 1: and now we're in the middle of all this fraud scandal. 18 00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:08,040 Speaker 1: So they're now going and haunting any of these disability 19 00:01:08,080 --> 00:01:12,160 Speaker 1: waivers for the next two years. So why is this interesting? Well, 20 00:01:12,200 --> 00:01:14,640 Speaker 1: beyond the fraud aspect of it, and further examples of 21 00:01:14,680 --> 00:01:17,720 Speaker 1: This is interesting because when you go back a year 22 00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:21,720 Speaker 1: ago basically, I mean a full year ago, like December fourth, 23 00:01:21,760 --> 00:01:24,360 Speaker 1: and I'll have the audio to share when Governor Tim 24 00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:27,520 Speaker 1: Walls came out and talked about how the eighteen billion 25 00:01:27,560 --> 00:01:30,720 Speaker 1: dollar surplus that we had was gone and now we're 26 00:01:30,720 --> 00:01:34,720 Speaker 1: facing a deficit. Would you like to venture a guess 27 00:01:34,720 --> 00:01:37,320 Speaker 1: for those that don't remember, because I didn't until I 28 00:01:37,480 --> 00:01:41,640 Speaker 1: was reminded via the clip online, would you like to 29 00:01:41,720 --> 00:01:45,200 Speaker 1: venture a guess of what Governor Tim Walls blamed the 30 00:01:45,240 --> 00:01:48,680 Speaker 1: deficit on and how we went from eighteen billion down 31 00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:58,360 Speaker 1: to a deficit. It was disability waivers. Oh, so basically 32 00:01:58,720 --> 00:02:03,440 Speaker 1: the argument moving forward forward is that perhaps that eighteen 33 00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:11,919 Speaker 1: billion dollars went up in smoke also because of fraud. 34 00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:16,079 Speaker 1: So we're gonna dive into this in great detail coming 35 00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:18,440 Speaker 1: up next hour. You might ask yourself, John, why don't 36 00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:20,160 Speaker 1: you just why don't you get into it? 37 00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:23,200 Speaker 2: Now? Get into all of it. Well, it's kind of 38 00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:23,680 Speaker 2: like a party. 39 00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:27,639 Speaker 1: I consider the show kind of a party, mostly because 40 00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:30,440 Speaker 1: I got a great night's sleep due to the Mini 41 00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:36,200 Speaker 1: Leaf Nightgummies, nice little plug in there. But as any party, 42 00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:40,760 Speaker 1: you gotta wait for everybody to arrive you don't wanna 43 00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:43,040 Speaker 1: you know, you don't want to go, and you don't 44 00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:46,679 Speaker 1: want to start spinning all the great tunes right. 45 00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:47,160 Speaker 2: Out of the gate. 46 00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:50,839 Speaker 1: You're gonna even kind of wanna wanna warm warm things up. 47 00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:54,399 Speaker 1: So we'll get we'll get into this next next hour 48 00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:57,800 Speaker 1: as I peel back the curtain on the on the show, 49 00:02:58,200 --> 00:03:00,440 Speaker 1: we have a lot of news regarding the ice hops 50 00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:03,360 Speaker 1: that did start yesterday. Minneapolis Man Baby mayor Mom Jeans 51 00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:11,040 Speaker 1: Jacob Frye has moved to strip away any ability for 52 00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:14,040 Speaker 1: federal law enforcement officials to. 53 00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:18,960 Speaker 2: Park Oh my god, that's not even a joke. 54 00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:23,720 Speaker 1: He signed an executive order saying that ice authorities are 55 00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:28,919 Speaker 1: not allowed to use city parking spaces. I have a theory. 56 00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:31,680 Speaker 1: By the way, I'll share this theory with you last hour. 57 00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:34,160 Speaker 1: I cannot take all the credit for this theory.

He has been talking a lot 100 00:05:44,760 --> 00:05:48,479 Speaker 4: about what's been going on in Minnesota, whether it be 101 00:05:48,600 --> 00:05:52,760 Speaker 4: the fraud or the situation of ice. Just to suggestion, 102 00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:53,560 Speaker 4: have a good. 103 00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:57,400 Speaker 1: Day, So Adam, A couple of things on that first 104 00:05:57,440 --> 00:06:06,120 Speaker 1: off from a talk show host standpoint in terms of protocols, 105 00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:08,599 Speaker 1: not not the right word, but this would go the 106 00:06:08,640 --> 00:06:12,960 Speaker 1: other direction, like I wouldn't specifically, have Joe Paggs on 107 00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:19,120 Speaker 1: this show to talk about Minnesota issues, it would go 108 00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:21,520 Speaker 1: the other way. I would be on Joe Pagg's show 109 00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:25,000 Speaker 1: to talk about Minnesota issues. Joe Paggs is on this 110 00:06:25,200 --> 00:06:28,479 Speaker 1: station but doesn't broadcast from Minnesota, so this would go 111 00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:33,400 Speaker 1: the other way. For example, I went on a show 112 00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:38,120 Speaker 1: yesterday in Denver to talk about what was going on 113 00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:40,880 Speaker 1: here in Minnesota. 114 00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:42,599 Speaker 2: So that's how you know. 115 00:06:42,640 --> 00:06:45,680 Speaker 1: Mammazon Mandy Connell's show A Great Friend Goes Way Back, 116 00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:49,000 Speaker 1: we go way back. She was great friends with Drew, 117 00:06:49,040 --> 00:06:51,400 Speaker 1: so I went on her show yesterday to talk about it. 118 00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:54,080 Speaker 1: Second thing is I also know that Joe Paggs days 119 00:06:54,120 --> 00:06:56,960 Speaker 1: up late because his show is later, and he also 120 00:06:57,000 --> 00:07:01,560 Speaker 1: does a lot of stuff online. Can not tell you 121 00:07:01,640 --> 00:07:04,839 Speaker 1: how many times It'll be a late Saturday, you know, 122 00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:07,799 Speaker 1: Friday into Saturday, Saturday into Sunday night, and I'm wrapping 123 00:07:07,839 --> 00:07:09,279 Speaker 1: up the evening, getting ready to go to bed, and 124 00:07:09,279 --> 00:07:12,000 Speaker 1: I hop online and Joe Paggins is doing a live 125 00:07:12,080 --> 00:07:16,440 Speaker 1: on TikTok or Instagram, and I just hang out. On occasion, 126 00:07:16,480 --> 00:07:19,280 Speaker 1: I'll pop in and say hi. I am highly entertained 127 00:07:19,280 --> 00:07:22,800 Speaker 1: when he sings. It's got a fantastic voice. So because 128 00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:25,680 Speaker 1: of the fact of his schedule, it's why I don't 129 00:07:25,720 --> 00:07:28,880 Speaker 1: typically reach out. So there you go, a little inside baseball, 130 00:07:28,880 --> 00:07:30,480 Speaker 1: but thank you for the talkback. Brought to you by 131 00:07:30,520 --> 00:07:34,120 Speaker 1: Lyndall Realty. Here on Twinsday's news talk from the Associated 132 00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:39,240 Speaker 1: Press Press. A maxed, masked burglar broke into a closed 133 00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:44,360 Speaker 1: Virginia liquor store early on Saturday, hit the bottom shelf 134 00:07:44,440 --> 00:07:48,760 Speaker 1: scotch and whiskey, that's where they were stored. The bandit 135 00:07:49,880 --> 00:07:54,360 Speaker 1: something of a nocturnal menace. Bottles were smashed, a ceiling 136 00:07:54,480 --> 00:07:58,440 Speaker 1: tile collapsed, and alcohol was pulled up on the floor. 137 00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:04,360 Speaker 1: The suspect acted like an animal because in fact it 138 00:08:04,480 --> 00:08:05,200 Speaker 1: was a raccoon. 139 00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:08,360 Speaker 2: Story's gone totally viral. 140 00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:12,640 Speaker 1: On Saturday morning, an employee at the Ashland, Virginia area 141 00:08:12,680 --> 00:08:15,760 Speaker 1: liquor store found the trash panda passed out on the 142 00:08:15,760 --> 00:08:19,080 Speaker 1: bathroom floor at the end of his drunken escapade. The 143 00:08:19,080 --> 00:08:23,760 Speaker 1: photograph spectacular. Samantha Martin, an officer who looked who works 144 00:08:23,760 --> 00:08:26,520 Speaker 1: for local animal control, said, personally, I like raccoons. 145 00:08:26,560 --> 00:08:27,679 Speaker 2: They are funny little creatures. 146 00:08:28,040 --> 00:08:30,160 Speaker 1: He fell through one of the ceiling tiles and went 147 00:08:30,200 --> 00:08:35,520 Speaker 1: on a full blown rampage drinking everything. Martin said she 148 00:08:35,559 --> 00:08:38,040 Speaker 1: took the raccoon back to the animal shelter. Though she 149 00:08:38,120 --> 00:08:42,480 Speaker 1: had feared her fair share of giggles, she had her 150 00:08:42,520 --> 00:08:45,160 Speaker 1: fair share excuse me of giggles along the way another 151 00:08:45,240 --> 00:08:48,760 Speaker 1: life in the end as an animal control officer. Yeah, 152 00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:51,200 Speaker 1: this story had been completely viral, and it's the because 153 00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:54,800 Speaker 1: the pictures really are what sold it. Because you see 154 00:08:54,840 --> 00:08:57,640 Speaker 1: all the broken alcohol bottles on the floor and then the. 155 00:08:57,559 --> 00:08:59,880 Speaker 2: Next voter that you see is the raccoon with. 156 00:08:59,840 --> 00:09:04,760 Speaker 1: The it's legs sprawled out. 157 00:09:04,120 --> 00:09:07,959 Speaker 2: As he's passed out next to the toilet. Cracked me up. 158 00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:15,920 Speaker 1: From raccoons to turtles, specifically Franklin. Secretary of War Pete Hegseth, 159 00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:18,440 Speaker 1: working off a version of the story from The Blaze, 160 00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:23,480 Speaker 1: shared a meme on Sunday depicting the eponymous star of 161 00:09:23,520 --> 00:09:28,040 Speaker 1: the children's book of franchise Franklin, the Turtle, and the 162 00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:34,360 Speaker 1: television adaptation Franklin. However, the image shared had Franklin dressed 163 00:09:34,440 --> 00:09:38,000 Speaker 1: up as an American soldier perched on the side of 164 00:09:38,040 --> 00:09:42,679 Speaker 1: an attack helicopter and firing a rocket propelled grenade at 165 00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:47,960 Speaker 1: maritime drug runners.

It really can't be overstated what the 340 00:20:10,520 --> 00:20:13,919 Speaker 1: Biden administration did to this country in putting it in danger. 341 00:20:14,040 --> 00:20:16,920 Speaker 1: So I would obviously I excuse me. I would say 342 00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:20,680 Speaker 1: absolutely the vetting process is an issue, but these countries 343 00:20:20,720 --> 00:20:23,600 Speaker 1: of origin to are an issue. That's according to the 344 00:20:23,640 --> 00:20:27,800 Speaker 1: Assistant Homeland Security Secretary. You know, Biden was really just 345 00:20:27,880 --> 00:20:32,040 Speaker 1: referring to the Walls trust test approach. I want to 346 00:20:32,080 --> 00:20:34,080 Speaker 1: go back to a bit of what Walls had to 347 00:20:34,119 --> 00:20:39,000 Speaker 1: say earlier this week regarding the paid family leave and 348 00:20:39,080 --> 00:20:42,320 Speaker 1: the concerns that it could be fraudulent. When he went 349 00:20:42,400 --> 00:20:44,800 Speaker 1: and said this during the press conference, well, aren't people. 350 00:20:44,600 --> 00:20:45,720 Speaker 5: Going to abuse the program? 351 00:20:45,920 --> 00:20:49,600 Speaker 7: How disrespectful to people to assume that all Minnesotans are scamming. 352 00:20:49,680 --> 00:20:51,399 Speaker 7: That's what I hear from them all the time. I 353 00:20:51,440 --> 00:20:54,840 Speaker 7: trust Minnesotans. I believe in Minnesotans. I believe they know 354 00:20:55,200 --> 00:20:57,200 Speaker 7: you're not going to get rich and it's not your 355 00:20:57,240 --> 00:20:59,600 Speaker 7: full salary. You're not going to scam and take time off. 356 00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:02,520 Speaker 7: This is complicated. This was a very good question about 357 00:21:02,640 --> 00:21:05,919 Speaker 7: multiple members coming off. My family's dealing this with a 358 00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:09,800 Speaker 7: mother in law, my wife and her three sisters. My 359 00:21:09,920 --> 00:21:12,880 Speaker 7: sisters in laws have a schedule where they take turns 360 00:21:12,960 --> 00:21:15,960 Speaker 7: every couple of days being responsible, and then they shift off, 361 00:21:16,160 --> 00:21:17,240 Speaker 7: and then they shift off. 362 00:21:17,480 --> 00:21:19,000 Speaker 5: As it stands right now. 363 00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:21,720 Speaker 7: They leave their jobs without pay to do that. This 364 00:21:21,760 --> 00:21:25,879 Speaker 7: will make it so much easier. So I'm excited about it. 365 00:21:25,880 --> 00:21:27,080 Speaker 7: I'm excited about the program. 366 00:21:27,200 --> 00:21:28,240 Speaker 2: So a couple of things on this. 367 00:21:28,320 --> 00:21:30,280 Speaker 1: First off, to the last part that you mentioned, My 368 00:21:30,480 --> 00:21:34,600 Speaker 1: understanding is what he said with his relatives, they're switching off. 369 00:21:34,960 --> 00:21:37,399 Speaker 1: The new paid family lead doesn't even allow you to 370 00:21:37,440 --> 00:21:38,280 Speaker 1: go and do that. 371 00:21:39,520 --> 00:21:41,000 Speaker 2: But to his first. 372 00:21:40,680 --> 00:21:45,560 Speaker 1: Point, basically, he admitted that the program can be exploited, 373 00:21:46,000 --> 00:21:50,680 Speaker 1: but is saying that he trusts that Minnesotans won't exploit it. 374 00:21:50,920 --> 00:21:55,120 Speaker 1: What a ridiculous take in the wake of everything that 375 00:21:55,160 --> 00:21:57,720 Speaker 1: we have been talking about on the show, and the 376 00:21:57,800 --> 00:22:02,000 Speaker 1: reason why so many prominent Minnesotans have basically broken a 377 00:22:02,040 --> 00:22:06,840 Speaker 1: record this week for appearances on outside Minnesota sources. You 378 00:22:06,960 --> 00:22:13,480 Speaker 1: have more interviews with prominent Minnesota politicians, especially Republicans, from 379 00:22:13,520 --> 00:22:16,480 Speaker 1: outside the state than you do for requests from inside 380 00:22:16,520 --> 00:22:19,040 Speaker 1: the state, which tells you all you need to know 381 00:22:19,119 --> 00:22:22,919 Speaker 1: about how Walls skated by last year when he was 382 00:22:22,920 --> 00:22:27,400 Speaker 1: tapped to be Kamala's VP, and everybody just ignored all 383 00:22:27,480 --> 00:22:29,200 Speaker 1: of what we've been talking about over the course of 384 00:22:29,200 --> 00:22:34,000 Speaker 1: the past few weeks. The pain family leave is going 385 00:22:34,040 --> 00:22:38,920 Speaker 1: to be a total disaster. Walls knows it. He absolutely 386 00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:43,560 Speaker 1: knows it. And this just reinforces everything that Walls is 387 00:22:43,600 --> 00:22:46,679 Speaker 1: dealing with right now. Reinforces my belief last year and 388 00:22:46,720 --> 00:22:52,119 Speaker 1: that Walls was gindy like a child bounding down the 389 00:22:52,160 --> 00:22:55,840 Speaker 1: stairs at the crack of dawn on Christmas morning to 390 00:22:55,920 --> 00:23:00,199 Speaker 1: go and see what Santa left. Walls was eager, that 391 00:23:00,359 --> 00:23:04,760 Speaker 1: eager to be Kamala Harris's VP choice one for the 392 00:23:04,800 --> 00:23:07,520 Speaker 1: ego boost, but two it would have been his ticket 393 00:23:07,560 --> 00:23:13,800 Speaker 1: out of Minnesota to stay in politics. Before all of 394 00:23:13,840 --> 00:23:16,800 Speaker 1: what we've been talking about broke loose too late. 395 00:23:16,880 --> 00:23:18,520 Speaker 2: Now now he's in the middle of it. 396 00:23:19,160 --> 00:23:20,959 Speaker 1: So back to what I was saying before, Biden was 397 00:23:21,040 --> 00:23:23,920 Speaker 1: just with the Maybe Wallas was taking a tip from Biden. 398 00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:25,600 Speaker 2: It's gonna just trust everybody. He'll be fine. 399 00:23:25,680 --> 00:23:29,080 Speaker 1: We'll let in all these Afghan refugees. They're coming to America. 400 00:23:29,119 --> 00:23:32,520 Speaker 1: America's great. Nobody would want to come here and harm Americans, 401 00:23:32,560 --> 00:23:33,800 Speaker 1: or take advantage of it, or go. 402 00:23:33,720 --> 00:23:34,400 Speaker 2: And break the law. 403 00:23:36,400 --> 00:23:41,440 Speaker 1: I already am hearing from friends of the show who 404 00:23:41,480 --> 00:23:45,280 Speaker 1: have said that they have family members who know full 405 00:23:45,320 --> 00:23:48,520 Speaker 1: well that once the beginning of the year starts, they're 406 00:23:48,520 --> 00:23:50,280 Speaker 1: going to be able to go and take this time 407 00:23:50,320 --> 00:23:53,520 Speaker 1: off looking to take advantage of it is it's going 408 00:23:53,560 --> 00:23:56,560 Speaker 1: to be an absolute disaster. We're going to get into 409 00:23:56,600 --> 00:23:58,919 Speaker 1: a lot more of the paid family leave tomorrow on 410 00:23:59,040 --> 00:24:01,199 Speaker 1: the show Our Freedom Friday. 411 00:24:01,240 --> 00:24:02,520 Speaker 2: Guests will include. 412 00:24:02,240 --> 00:24:06,879 Speaker 1: Catherine Johnson from American Experiment RNC Committee, man Ak Kamara, 413 00:24:06,920 --> 00:24:09,960 Speaker 1: and Walter Hudson will be joining us in studio for 414 00:24:10,040 --> 00:24:11,920 Speaker 1: the show tomorrow as well. And I believe he went 415 00:24:11,920 --> 00:24:13,760 Speaker 1: down tomorrow lago. If I'm not mistaken. I was looking 416 00:24:13,840 --> 00:24:17,080 Speaker 1: on his X feed. He actually he actually traveled down 417 00:24:17,160 --> 00:24:22,679 Speaker 1: to tomorrow Lago, which bums me out because if I 418 00:24:22,720 --> 00:24:25,480 Speaker 1: had known I have a new item on my bucket list, 419 00:24:25,480 --> 00:24:27,240 Speaker 1: I'm kind of getting ahead of myself here.

I want to 421 00:24:29,760 --> 00:24:34,960 Speaker 1: get President Donald Trump since he's been talking about Jacob Frye. 422 00:24:37,040 --> 00:24:39,520 Speaker 1: I want to get Trump to call him Minneapolis man 423 00:24:39,520 --> 00:24:42,679 Speaker 1: baby may or, Mom Jean's Jacob Frye. I feel like 424 00:24:42,760 --> 00:24:45,280 Speaker 1: if somebody could feed that to the President and I've 425 00:24:45,720 --> 00:24:48,080 Speaker 1: the you know, I'm I'm less than six degrees of 426 00:24:48,080 --> 00:24:51,040 Speaker 1: separation from the president right now, actually way less than 427 00:24:51,080 --> 00:24:54,520 Speaker 1: that considering I know Pete, but I'm not gonna text 428 00:24:54,560 --> 00:24:56,440 Speaker 1: Pete and ask it to give it to the President. 429 00:24:57,200 --> 00:25:01,119 Speaker 1: Even if the President just called Jacob fry Man baby Mayor, 430 00:25:01,359 --> 00:25:03,879 Speaker 1: I would be excited about that. Yeah, I'm looking at 431 00:25:03,880 --> 00:25:06,360 Speaker 1: it right now. Walter Hudson honored to attend the Prager 432 00:25:06,440 --> 00:25:10,520 Speaker 1: You Gala at mar Alago. We'll talk about that when 433 00:25:10,560 --> 00:25:13,760 Speaker 1: he joins us in studio tomorrow on the. 434 00:25:14,080 --> 00:25:16,360 Speaker 2: On the show. All Right, I see your top bacts 435 00:25:16,359 --> 00:25:16,879 Speaker 2: are rolling in. 436 00:25:16,960 --> 00:25:19,760 Speaker 1: Let's go here. I'll get to your comments here in 437 00:25:19,800 --> 00:25:23,040 Speaker 1: just a moment. On CNN yesterday, the lead. 438 00:25:24,240 --> 00:25:25,920 Speaker 2: I had no idea. That's what Jake Tapper show is 439 00:25:25,920 --> 00:25:26,480 Speaker 2: called the lead. 440 00:25:28,600 --> 00:25:33,560 Speaker 1: Representative Ilhan Omar said President Donald Trump's comments about Themalians, 441 00:25:33,960 --> 00:25:41,520 Speaker 1: we're creating a dangerous situation because his followers exhibited violence. 442 00:25:41,560 --> 00:25:43,240 Speaker 1: And I want to get to more of that in 443 00:25:43,400 --> 00:25:45,719 Speaker 1: just a moment. Let me play this clip. First off, though, 444 00:25:45,760 --> 00:25:48,760 Speaker 1: we were talking about fraud a moment ago, and Jake 445 00:25:48,800 --> 00:25:53,000 Speaker 1: Tapper had asked Representative Ilhan Omar about the fraud taking 446 00:25:53,000 --> 00:25:57,960 Speaker 1: place and specifically it ties to the Somali community. 447 00:25:58,000 --> 00:26:01,560 Speaker 2: And here is what Ilhan had to say. 448 00:26:01,640 --> 00:26:04,880 Speaker 1: Can you shed any light on why the fraud got 449 00:26:05,000 --> 00:26:07,720 Speaker 1: so out of control in Minnesota? 450 00:26:09,240 --> 00:26:13,240 Speaker 8: I think what happened is that, you know, when you 451 00:26:13,400 --> 00:26:17,600 Speaker 8: have these kind of new programs that are designed to 452 00:26:18,680 --> 00:26:22,240 Speaker 8: help people, you're oftentimes relying on third parties to be 453 00:26:22,320 --> 00:26:25,200 Speaker 8: able to facilitate. And I just think that a lot 454 00:26:25,240 --> 00:26:29,080 Speaker 8: of the COVID programs that were set up, they were 455 00:26:29,119 --> 00:26:30,880 Speaker 8: set up so quickly that a lot of the guard 456 00:26:30,880 --> 00:26:32,400 Speaker 8: wheels did not get created. 457 00:26:34,000 --> 00:26:37,720 Speaker 2: You know, people get busted for speeding. 458 00:26:39,640 --> 00:26:43,320 Speaker 1: If the auto manufacturers would just create cars that were 459 00:26:43,320 --> 00:26:47,880 Speaker 1: incapable of speeding, then maybe people wouldn't be breaking the law. 460 00:26:48,920 --> 00:26:55,200 Speaker 1: So it's the program's fault in this. She's not wrong 461 00:26:55,280 --> 00:26:59,840 Speaker 1: in that aspect. She should be adding the human component 462 00:27:00,080 --> 00:27:02,320 Speaker 1: to it. I don't want to dismiss that fact, but 463 00:27:02,440 --> 00:27:05,800 Speaker 1: she is not wrong in the program being open to fraud. 464 00:27:05,880 --> 00:27:09,639 Speaker 1: It is the barrier to entry to open up the 465 00:27:09,680 --> 00:27:13,640 Speaker 1: autism centers, the housing stabilization services. What we'll get into 466 00:27:13,800 --> 00:27:17,960 Speaker 1: next hour, these programs in which these disability waivers have 467 00:27:18,119 --> 00:27:22,040 Speaker 1: exploded that may have ended up sucking our eighteen billion 468 00:27:22,119 --> 00:27:28,840 Speaker 1: dollars surplus dry. She's right, they are right for fraud. 469 00:27:28,880 --> 00:27:32,199 Speaker 1: They were designed that way. But then she makes the 470 00:27:32,240 --> 00:27:34,880 Speaker 1: mistake of completely dismissing the fact that there's a human 471 00:27:34,920 --> 00:27:40,160 Speaker 1: component here and that Walls had said that he trusts Minnesotans, 472 00:27:40,200 --> 00:27:42,560 Speaker 1: So why would there be any fraud? I mean, this 473 00:27:42,720 --> 00:27:45,640 Speaker 1: runs directly counter to the clip, Well, are people. 474 00:27:45,440 --> 00:27:46,560 Speaker 5: Going to abuse the program? 475 00:27:46,800 --> 00:27:50,080 Speaker 7: How disrespectful to people to assume that all Minnesotans are 476 00:27:50,080 --> 00:27:51,960 Speaker 7: scamming and that's. 477 00:27:51,760 --> 00:27:53,560 Speaker 2: The wordplay there. 478 00:27:54,040 --> 00:27:58,560 Speaker 1: How disrespectful to assume that all Minnesotans are scamming. You know, Tim, 479 00:27:58,720 --> 00:28:01,680 Speaker 1: not all Minnesotans are a scaming Nobody is saying that, 480 00:28:02,480 --> 00:28:07,760 Speaker 1: but some Minnesotans are scamming. A lot of Minnesotans are scamming. 481 00:28:07,840 --> 00:28:12,320 Speaker 1: Even though that a lot number is only a fraction 482 00:28:12,520 --> 00:28:13,440 Speaker 1: of the whole. 483 00:28:14,840 --> 00:28:16,560 Speaker 2: Never gets called on the carpet by the media. 484 00:28:17,680 --> 00:28:20,760 Speaker 1: Excuse me, governor who said that all Minnesotans are scamming, 485 00:28:21,359 --> 00:28:24,040 Speaker 1: I don't know anybody that's actually gone and said that. 486 00:28:25,080 --> 00:28:27,520 Speaker 9: It's great that you trust the people of Minnesota. It's 487 00:28:27,560 --> 00:28:29,360 Speaker 9: great that you think that you have a state full 488 00:28:29,400 --> 00:28:31,720 Speaker 9: of people that are good herded and good natured people 489 00:28:31,720 --> 00:28:35,040 Speaker 9: that wouldn't take advantage of the system. The statistics would 490 00:28:35,040 --> 00:28:39,000 Speaker 9: tell you otherwise. Fraud does exist. Crime exists. You can 491 00:28:39,040 --> 00:28:41,040 Speaker 9: see it. You're at the top of the chain. You 492 00:28:41,200 --> 00:28:44,520 Speaker 9: know that it's happening, and it's your obligation as the 493 00:28:44,560 --> 00:28:47,680 Speaker 9: governor to make sure that you are safeguarding the taxpayers 494 00:28:47,720 --> 00:28:53,600 Speaker 9: dollars against fraud, crime, embezzlement, theft, especially when it's your policies. 495 00:28:56,880 --> 00:28:57,320 Speaker 5: I was just. 496 00:28:57,320 --> 00:29:00,560 Speaker 10: Curious that there's any way that the state could now 497 00:29:00,600 --> 00:29:05,840 Speaker 10: retract that program before it started. Is there anything we 498 00:29:05,920 --> 00:29:11,080 Speaker 10: can do, or the taxpayers or anything to just get 499 00:29:11,160 --> 00:29:14,120 Speaker 10: rid of that program before we start losing more and 500 00:29:14,200 --> 00:29:15,240 Speaker 10: more and more money. 501 00:29:16,280 --> 00:29:17,680 Speaker 2: You'd have to go and take care. 502 00:29:17,760 --> 00:29:21,600 Speaker 1: I don't know what the actual technical mechanism would be 503 00:29:22,480 --> 00:29:25,239 Speaker 1: to remove the program, but it's it's all listen, that 504 00:29:25,400 --> 00:29:26,320 Speaker 1: is a non starter. 505 00:29:26,960 --> 00:29:27,920 Speaker 2: We'll talk to. 506 00:29:27,880 --> 00:29:30,239 Speaker 1: Walt, to Representative Walter Hudson about this tomorrow. We'll get 507 00:29:30,280 --> 00:29:32,840 Speaker 1: we'll get his thoughts on it. But that's already a 508 00:29:32,880 --> 00:29:37,200 Speaker 1: non starter because you already had Democrat business owners last 509 00:29:37,320 --> 00:29:43,200 Speaker 1: year who at a time during the session came in 510 00:29:43,320 --> 00:29:47,280 Speaker 1: and just wanted a temporary pause on paid family medical leave, 511 00:29:48,040 --> 00:29:50,520 Speaker 1: just to delay it until they got more details worked 512 00:29:50,560 --> 00:29:53,560 Speaker 1: out because of the growing concerns about how of how 513 00:29:54,440 --> 00:29:57,840 Speaker 1: much this is going to hurt businesses, and it just 514 00:29:57,880 --> 00:30:03,960 Speaker 1: completely was ignored by Democrats. Unfortunately, right now, until the 515 00:30:04,000 --> 00:30:08,720 Speaker 1: program is implemented and we see the disastrous repercussions, I 516 00:30:08,760 --> 00:30:11,880 Speaker 1: don't think Democrats are going to pull back on. 517 00:30:12,520 --> 00:30:13,920 Speaker 2: Any of this at this point in time. 518 00:30:15,400 --> 00:30:18,480 Speaker 11: Good morning, John. Is it just me or has anybody 519 00:30:18,520 --> 00:30:21,680 Speaker 11: noticed how much weight that Governor Wallace has been losing? 520 00:30:22,520 --> 00:30:26,480 Speaker 11: I mean, it's kind of sudden and it appears to 521 00:30:26,480 --> 00:30:27,440 Speaker 11: be significant. 522 00:30:27,560 --> 00:30:32,000 Speaker 1: I just assume it's the injections. This is what the 523 00:30:32,000 --> 00:30:33,920 Speaker 1: semi glue tide is that what they call them. I 524 00:30:34,000 --> 00:30:38,080 Speaker 1: just whenever I see an individual now who has lost 525 00:30:38,120 --> 00:30:40,440 Speaker 1: a bunch of weight in a relatively short period of time. 526 00:30:40,480 --> 00:30:43,960 Speaker 1: I mean, if somebody use that, that's fine. I prefer 527 00:30:44,000 --> 00:30:45,720 Speaker 1: to go the more traditional route, which is what I'm 528 00:30:45,760 --> 00:30:49,120 Speaker 1: doing right now. I got a plan underways, what I'm 529 00:30:49,120 --> 00:30:51,240 Speaker 1: doing right now. I'm looking at Devin. I got a 530 00:30:51,240 --> 00:30:53,480 Speaker 1: plan right now. So I'm eating really I try to 531 00:30:53,480 --> 00:30:55,920 Speaker 1: eat really healthy anyways, but I've really sort of limited 532 00:30:55,960 --> 00:31:00,560 Speaker 1: my calorie intake. Okay, but I've set myself up a deadline. 533 00:31:01,400 --> 00:31:02,840 Speaker 1: So I've been going now for a week and I've 534 00:31:02,840 --> 00:31:04,680 Speaker 1: already dropped a couple pounds. Are really excited about this, 535 00:31:04,680 --> 00:31:07,520 Speaker 1: already feel better about myself. But see, I'm going until 536 00:31:07,520 --> 00:31:09,960 Speaker 1: the eighteenth. To the eighteenth is then the start of 537 00:31:09,960 --> 00:31:13,480 Speaker 1: my vacation, because I want to be able to enjoy 538 00:31:13,520 --> 00:31:15,800 Speaker 1: myself on vacation. So my plan is once I get 539 00:31:15,840 --> 00:31:18,680 Speaker 1: on vacation, because I'm pretty much calorie counting right now, 540 00:31:18,800 --> 00:31:21,200 Speaker 1: when I get on vacation, I'm still going to calorie count, 541 00:31:21,240 --> 00:31:24,040 Speaker 1: but I'm just going to calorie count at that maintain 542 00:31:24,320 --> 00:31:26,360 Speaker 1: calorie level so they can just keep the weight off, 543 00:31:26,360 --> 00:31:26,520 Speaker 1: but I. 544 00:31:26,480 --> 00:31:29,800 Speaker 2: Can still enjoy myself. Saying, I think it's a very 545 00:31:30,320 --> 00:31:34,400 Speaker 2: very sound plan. You're fascinating to talk to. 546 00:31:36,440 --> 00:31:42,200 Speaker 11: John regarding the unvetting of that murderous person from Afghanistan. 547 00:31:42,680 --> 00:31:44,720 Speaker 11: Do you know how many hoops you have to jump 548 00:31:44,720 --> 00:31:47,520 Speaker 11: through to get a real ID, The amount of documentation 549 00:31:48,160 --> 00:31:51,120 Speaker 11: an American citizen who's lived here their whole life has 550 00:31:51,160 --> 00:31:55,080 Speaker 11: to bring into the DMV to get a real ID. Yeah, 551 00:31:55,640 --> 00:31:59,400 Speaker 11: driver's license. It's insane. Yet this guy and so many 552 00:31:59,480 --> 00:32:02,320 Speaker 11: others just walk across our border and everything's good. 553 00:32:02,400 --> 00:32:05,640 Speaker 1: I mean, we could provide thank you for the h 554 00:32:06,920 --> 00:32:09,640 Speaker 1: d M, thank you for the for the talkback. You 555 00:32:09,680 --> 00:32:14,800 Speaker 1: could provide so many different examples. Logan just got a car. 556 00:32:14,840 --> 00:32:17,800 Speaker 1: He about a used car. He's been driving around, a 557 00:32:17,920 --> 00:32:19,840 Speaker 1: vehicle that's been it's been with us for quite a 558 00:32:19,840 --> 00:32:22,440 Speaker 1: while now, and it's on it's it's on its last legs. 559 00:32:22,480 --> 00:32:24,959 Speaker 1: And I know this because the stains in the driveway 560 00:32:25,040 --> 00:32:25,880 Speaker 1: keep reminding me. 561 00:32:26,640 --> 00:32:29,920 Speaker 2: That it's on its last legs. It's steering fluid apparently, 562 00:32:30,360 --> 00:32:32,960 Speaker 2: so it's going to be arriving this week. 563 00:32:33,160 --> 00:32:35,160 Speaker 1: He had to jump through more hoops to get that 564 00:32:35,280 --> 00:32:39,040 Speaker 1: vehicle than most people do. When it comes to immigrating 565 00:32:39,080 --> 00:32:42,840 Speaker 1: into the country, or more specifically, creating one of these 566 00:32:42,880 --> 00:32:48,120 Speaker 1: programs that turns out to be massively fraudulent. All right, 567 00:32:48,160 --> 00:32:52,640 Speaker 1: So here's more from Ilhan Omar claiming that Trump was 568 00:32:52,640 --> 00:32:55,800 Speaker 1: demonizing an ethnic group, warning of the dangers of violence 569 00:32:55,800 --> 00:32:58,320 Speaker 1: from his followers. Tapper Head asked her, what is the 570 00:32:58,360 --> 00:33:01,880 Speaker 1: practical impact when a press into the United States demonizes 571 00:33:01,920 --> 00:33:06,240 Speaker 1: an entire group of people based on ethnicity, and Omar said, 572 00:33:06,400 --> 00:33:09,560 Speaker 1: I mean, it creates fear, and there is a possible 573 00:33:09,640 --> 00:33:12,400 Speaker 1: danger that a lot of people who follow the president 574 00:33:12,680 --> 00:33:16,360 Speaker 1: have exhibited violence in many cases, and so there is 575 00:33:16,400 --> 00:33:19,200 Speaker 1: a fear not just for Somali's not just for Minnesota, 576 00:33:19,360 --> 00:33:21,480 Speaker 1: but across the country that some of these people might 577 00:33:21,880 --> 00:33:26,040 Speaker 1: attack and harm them. So Representative Ilhan Omar is afraid 578 00:33:26,240 --> 00:33:32,000 Speaker 1: that Trump's comments could bring about violence and individuals that 579 00:33:32,080 --> 00:33:36,560 Speaker 1: hear it. That's really interesting, especially when you consider this 580 00:33:36,640 --> 00:33:39,080 Speaker 1: story from the Daily Wire. A fifty four year old 581 00:33:39,080 --> 00:33:42,000 Speaker 1: man has been arrested after carrying out a self described 582 00:33:42,120 --> 00:33:46,480 Speaker 1: terrorist attack by throwing molotov cocktails at security officers outside 583 00:33:46,480 --> 00:33:49,880 Speaker 1: of a federal building in California that houses Immigrations and 584 00:33:49,920 --> 00:33:51,800 Speaker 1: Customs enforcement officials. 585 00:33:53,080 --> 00:33:54,520 Speaker 2: But you did to hear about this story, did you, 586 00:33:58,600 --> 00:33:59,880 Speaker 2: Jose Francisco. 587 00:34:00,160 --> 00:34:04,680 Speaker 1: Hovell accused by federal investigators of carrying out the attack 588 00:34:05,600 --> 00:34:10,680 Speaker 1: motivated by opposition to Trump's administration's crackdown on the legal immigration. 589 00:34:13,760 --> 00:34:17,759 Speaker 1: He who lives in glass houses shouldn't throw stones, Representative 590 00:34:17,800 --> 00:34:21,640 Speaker 1: Ilhan Omar. The case exemplifies how misleading and hateful rhetoric 591 00:34:21,920 --> 00:34:25,800 Speaker 1: against federal law enforcement can and does a result in violence. 592 00:34:26,280 --> 00:34:30,840 Speaker 1: According to the First Assistant United States Attorney Bill Assali, 593 00:34:31,280 --> 00:34:35,600 Speaker 1: irresponsible rhetoric by politicians and activists have real world consequences 594 00:34:35,840 --> 00:34:39,759 Speaker 1: and it must stop. Oh and just to add the 595 00:34:39,800 --> 00:34:42,080 Speaker 1: point that I'm sure you were already thinking, The Department 596 00:34:42,120 --> 00:34:45,600 Speaker 1: of Homeland Security said that Hovell has a criminal history 597 00:34:45,600 --> 00:34:48,560 Speaker 1: and includes arrest of attempted murder in eighty seven, robbery 598 00:34:48,600 --> 00:34:52,040 Speaker 1: with a firearm in nineteen ninety one, mullust molesting a 599 00:34:52,160 --> 00:34:55,160 Speaker 1: victim under the age of eighteen, and two thousand and 600 00:34:55,320 --> 00:35:00,640 Speaker 1: seven as well. All right, coming up, we'll get comments 601 00:35:00,640 --> 00:35:04,320 Speaker 1: from the iHeartRadio app. We have an immigration headline round up.

It's all coming up an hour 611 00:35:33,920 --> 00:35:36,600 Speaker 1: two here on Twin City's News Talk AM eleven thirty 612 00:35:36,640 --> 00:35:37,960 Speaker 1: and one oh three five FM.
