No, you're intentionally being misled. This 79 00:05:04,920 --> 00:05:10,040 Speaker 1: guy was an independent contractor for the Department of War, 80 00:05:10,279 --> 00:05:14,400 Speaker 1: not ICE, as they've been insinuating. He's one of thousands 81 00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:18,160 Speaker 1: of individual contractors in the federal government. I am in 82 00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:21,240 Speaker 1: no way, shape or form justifying prostitution by any stretch. 83 00:05:21,880 --> 00:05:24,159 Speaker 1: You get busted for prostitution, breaking the law, just like 84 00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:26,960 Speaker 1: anything else. You should be held accountable. What I do 85 00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:30,560 Speaker 1: find rather interesting about it, though, is just how big 86 00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:34,839 Speaker 1: of a deal they're making about this dude. Just horrible, 87 00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:37,560 Speaker 1: just again, he says the I mean, maybe of the 88 00:05:37,640 --> 00:05:39,960 Speaker 1: individuals arrested, but the worst, right, this. 89 00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:41,200 Speaker 3: Is the most disturbing. 90 00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:43,880 Speaker 1: Yes, yes, we've had here, so disturbing. 91 00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:47,000 Speaker 3: He is a backgrounder for ICE. 92 00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:52,000 Speaker 1: Oh so, let's some actually break this down for just 93 00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:56,400 Speaker 1: a moment. Independent contractor may have done some background checks 94 00:05:56,400 --> 00:05:59,039 Speaker 1: with ICE. We have no idea, we have no evidence 95 00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:02,480 Speaker 1: whatsoever to say that this individual was involved in providing 96 00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:05,800 Speaker 1: and approving the background checks for any ICE agents that 97 00:06:05,839 --> 00:06:09,039 Speaker 1: are involved in the operations taking place here in Minnesota. 98 00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:15,560 Speaker 1: And if he was, so, what I mean, yeah, he 99 00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:21,480 Speaker 1: shouldn't be out there so listening for prostitution. But unless 100 00:06:21,880 --> 00:06:25,640 Speaker 1: he was approving ICE agents based off of their views 101 00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:31,240 Speaker 1: and behavior regarding prostitution, it's kind of irrelevant that this 102 00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:35,920 Speaker 1: guy went out and paid for some loving. The other 103 00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:41,760 Speaker 1: aspect is so now the DFL suddenly cares about one 104 00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:50,599 Speaker 1: legal citizen who allegedly liked to exchange money for sex. 105 00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:53,600 Speaker 1: But of course they're not going to go and highlight 106 00:06:55,080 --> 00:06:57,440 Speaker 1: and even go out of their way to defend the 107 00:06:57,480 --> 00:07:02,200 Speaker 1: illegal alien, violent criminals, the rapist, the child sex offenders. 108 00:07:05,760 --> 00:07:07,679 Speaker 1: But oh no, this is this is awful. 109 00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:10,760 Speaker 3: This is just this is the most disturbing arrests that 110 00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:18,240 Speaker 3: we've had here, yeah round for ICE, Homeland Security, and 111 00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:23,040 Speaker 3: federal agencies. So when you're getting your security clearance, this 112 00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:24,880 Speaker 3: is one of the guys that does your backgrounds. 113 00:07:24,960 --> 00:07:31,080 Speaker 1: Mmmm. Which a guy that likes to pay for sex. Again, 114 00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:35,320 Speaker 1: no justification there. He should be arrested for that. It's 115 00:07:35,400 --> 00:07:38,720 Speaker 1: kind of gross, but in the grand scheme of things, 116 00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:42,640 Speaker 1: it pales in comparison. I would give a little bit 117 00:07:42,640 --> 00:07:47,240 Speaker 1: of leeway if the left cared at all, local law 118 00:07:47,280 --> 00:07:49,960 Speaker 1: enforcement cared at all, or gave any credit to our 119 00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:53,400 Speaker 1: ICE agents for arresting the individuals that they've been arresting, 120 00:07:53,440 --> 00:07:56,280 Speaker 1: not just here but across the country. And as an example, 121 00:07:56,520 --> 00:08:02,400 Speaker 1: here's Representative Lisa McLain. So compare what she describes in 122 00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:05,520 Speaker 1: this clip from Fox News to what the Bloomington police 123 00:08:05,560 --> 00:08:08,000 Speaker 1: chief said about this individual. Just we got him off 124 00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:11,360 Speaker 1: the streets. Boys, it's a good thing. Horrible person. He 125 00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:14,440 Speaker 1: tried to get a prostitute. 126 00:08:15,080 --> 00:08:20,720 Speaker 4: DHS has pulled an illegal alien out of Zealand. Michigan 127 00:08:21,240 --> 00:08:28,240 Speaker 4: convicted of sexually exploiting a miner. This guy, this is 128 00:08:28,280 --> 00:08:34,040 Speaker 4: who the protesters and the Democrats are defending. An illegal 129 00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:39,640 Speaker 4: who is here, who has been convicted, convicted, I might say, 130 00:08:40,200 --> 00:08:45,080 Speaker 4: of sexually exploiting a miner. I don't know why you 131 00:08:45,160 --> 00:08:46,600 Speaker 4: all aren't angry about that. 132 00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:48,080 Speaker 1: I'll share with you. 133 00:08:48,160 --> 00:08:53,360 Speaker 4: It just it is unfathomable to me. In Grand Rapids 134 00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:58,800 Speaker 4: they got a guy convicted of larceny and sexual assault 135 00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:06,080 Speaker 4: and Ipsilanti Jackson in Detroit. In Holland Pontiac DHS found 136 00:09:06,200 --> 00:09:14,679 Speaker 4: deported illegal aliens committed of homicide murder. These folks are monsters, 137 00:09:15,240 --> 00:09:20,880 Speaker 4: and you have Democrats that are advocating for them to 138 00:09:20,960 --> 00:09:26,079 Speaker 4: get released back into your communities. Why aren't you reporting 139 00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:28,640 Speaker 4: and why aren't more people outraged? 140 00:09:29,520 --> 00:09:33,040 Speaker 1: Because they'd rather get outraged over a guy that might 141 00:09:33,160 --> 00:09:37,880 Speaker 1: have been involved, perhaps as an independent contractor doing background 142 00:09:37,960 --> 00:09:42,960 Speaker 1: checks for ICE, who allegedly win and solicited, oh my gosh, 143 00:09:43,280 --> 00:09:44,040 Speaker 1: for prostitution. 144 00:09:44,280 --> 00:09:47,559 Speaker 3: This is the most disturbing arrests that we've had here. 145 00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:55,439 Speaker 3: He is a backgrounder for ICE, Homeland Security, and federal agencies. 146 00:09:55,760 --> 00:09:59,240 Speaker 3: So when you're getting your security clearance, yeah, this is 147 00:09:59,280 --> 00:10:04,040 Speaker 3: one of the guys that does your backgrounds, which is 148 00:10:04,120 --> 00:10:06,000 Speaker 3: kind of scary. 149 00:10:04,920 --> 00:10:08,160 Speaker 1: It just cracks me up how hard he tries to 150 00:10:08,200 --> 00:10:13,800 Speaker 1: sell it.

And yet the media this morning, 176 00:11:57,160 --> 00:12:00,000 Speaker 1: everybody's picking up on this. He should have been arrest 177 00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:02,720 Speaker 1: city still listening for prostitution. That's illegal. Kind of gross, 178 00:12:03,480 --> 00:12:07,360 Speaker 1: but comparatively speaking, they don't give a rip the media. 179 00:12:08,280 --> 00:12:11,720 Speaker 1: I haven't heard anything from the Bloomington police chief about 180 00:12:11,800 --> 00:12:18,079 Speaker 1: the murderers, the rapists, the sex offenders. Maybe the murderers, 181 00:12:18,760 --> 00:12:22,440 Speaker 1: traders and thieves you call friend. And yet they're going 182 00:12:22,520 --> 00:12:26,400 Speaker 1: to make all of this commotion about one guy working 183 00:12:26,440 --> 00:12:29,480 Speaker 1: as an independent contractor that might have had some involvement 184 00:12:29,840 --> 00:12:31,920 Speaker 1: with ICE. Don't even know if it has anything to 185 00:12:31,960 --> 00:12:35,440 Speaker 1: do with the agents here who wanted to go and 186 00:12:35,480 --> 00:12:36,360 Speaker 1: pay money for sex. 187 00:12:36,400 --> 00:12:41,800 Speaker 5: No, okay, regarding this gentleman that was arrested for this 188 00:12:42,080 --> 00:12:45,680 Speaker 5: thing operation, I think Homan should have a press conference 189 00:12:45,720 --> 00:12:49,240 Speaker 5: saying that he was not an ICE employee. And in 190 00:12:49,280 --> 00:12:52,200 Speaker 5: addition to that, the independent contractors are the ones that 191 00:12:52,320 --> 00:12:55,000 Speaker 5: should be doing the background checks on the people that 192 00:12:55,040 --> 00:12:59,600 Speaker 5: they are hiring. Just do not understand why they cannot 193 00:12:59,679 --> 00:13:00,200 Speaker 5: report or. 194 00:13:00,360 --> 00:13:03,880 Speaker 1: Correct fact because they're agenda driven and they're beholden to 195 00:13:03,920 --> 00:13:04,319 Speaker 1: the left. 196 00:13:05,120 --> 00:13:08,000 Speaker 6: So was that the Bloomington police chief that was giving 197 00:13:08,040 --> 00:13:11,960 Speaker 6: the statement yes on the background check guy they arrested 198 00:13:12,920 --> 00:13:17,600 Speaker 6: because you think he'd be more affluent in an interview. 199 00:13:18,520 --> 00:13:19,800 Speaker 1: I thought he was fine, I'm not going to go 200 00:13:19,840 --> 00:13:21,120 Speaker 1: down that road. I thought the way that he was 201 00:13:21,160 --> 00:13:28,480 Speaker 1: speaking was fine, let's go here. Minnesota flag sales are 202 00:13:28,520 --> 00:13:31,320 Speaker 1: soaring during the ice urge. Some twin city stores have 203 00:13:31,400 --> 00:13:35,520 Speaker 1: sold out of the Minnesota state flags in recent weeks, 204 00:13:36,480 --> 00:13:39,440 Speaker 1: flying off the shells as some residents used them to 205 00:13:39,480 --> 00:13:42,840 Speaker 1: show their state pride and opposition to the wave of 206 00:13:42,880 --> 00:13:47,959 Speaker 1: federal immigration officers. The newer version of the flag, officially 207 00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:50,880 Speaker 1: redesigned and adopted by the state after several months of 208 00:13:50,920 --> 00:13:53,599 Speaker 1: heated discussion in twenty twenty four, has been waived and 209 00:13:53,679 --> 00:13:57,640 Speaker 1: draped over shoulders at numerous demonstrations held into protest immigrations 210 00:13:57,640 --> 00:14:01,120 Speaker 1: and customs enforcement. In the last few weeks, activists want 211 00:14:01,120 --> 00:14:03,240 Speaker 1: the thousands of agents who are a part of ICE's 212 00:14:03,360 --> 00:14:07,080 Speaker 1: unprecedented enforcement sweep to leave Minnesota. Working off of this 213 00:14:07,240 --> 00:14:11,400 Speaker 1: version of the story from the Minnesota Star Tribune. Despite 214 00:14:11,480 --> 00:14:14,400 Speaker 1: the bipartisan effort to doing that thing with my fingers, 215 00:14:14,960 --> 00:14:19,160 Speaker 1: the GOP was only included after the fateful decision to 216 00:14:19,240 --> 00:14:23,040 Speaker 1: change the flag because of the disingenuous claim that the 217 00:14:23,080 --> 00:14:29,720 Speaker 1: original Minnesota state flag was racist. Now we see what 218 00:14:30,720 --> 00:14:35,640 Speaker 1: we all assumed. We now see firsthand. The flag wasn't 219 00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:39,080 Speaker 1: changed because of racism. It was a way for the 220 00:14:39,160 --> 00:14:43,800 Speaker 1: DFL to attempt to claim Minnesota, to conquer Minnesota in 221 00:14:43,840 --> 00:14:49,080 Speaker 1: their minds during the time of their trifecta, and is 222 00:14:49,120 --> 00:14:52,280 Speaker 1: now being used for its intended purpose as a symbol 223 00:14:52,360 --> 00:15:00,200 Speaker 1: of leftist resistance against the right. Lee Harold, who owns 224 00:15:00,200 --> 00:15:03,000 Speaker 1: Harold Flags in Rochester, said the sales of the Minnesota 225 00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:06,920 Speaker 1: flag have gone up seventy five percent since Operation Metro Surge. 226 00:15:07,400 --> 00:15:10,800 Speaker 1: Protest and defiance is what I see now in customers 227 00:15:10,800 --> 00:15:13,320 Speaker 1: buying the new flag. It's not subtle, it's not boasting, 228 00:15:13,960 --> 00:15:16,040 Speaker 1: but they are making a statement by showing off their 229 00:15:16,080 --> 00:15:20,920 Speaker 1: Minnesota pride and determination. In the last few weeks, flag 230 00:15:20,960 --> 00:15:24,400 Speaker 1: store owners said there's been more acceptance of the new design. 231 00:15:25,200 --> 00:15:27,880 Speaker 1: We are seeing more interest in the twenty twenty four 232 00:15:27,920 --> 00:15:35,960 Speaker 1: flag now and fewer people buying it reluctantly, Harold said 233 00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:38,360 Speaker 1: in an email. Over the last two years, Harold said, 234 00:15:38,360 --> 00:15:40,960 Speaker 1: has been somewhat common for customers of the new flag 235 00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:43,160 Speaker 1: to buy it while making a comment about the design, 236 00:15:43,320 --> 00:15:46,160 Speaker 1: such as why did they pick this one? But now 237 00:15:46,200 --> 00:15:51,560 Speaker 1: it's fully being embraced, and it tells you the whole 238 00:15:51,600 --> 00:15:54,840 Speaker 1: reason why this flag was redesigned in the first place. 239 00:15:57,360 --> 00:16:00,680 Speaker 1: It was an attempt for the DFL in their minds, 240 00:16:00,680 --> 00:16:03,920 Speaker 1: to say we've conquered Minnesota. It was designed to look 241 00:16:04,080 --> 00:16:06,400 Speaker 1: like the It was designed to look like the flag 242 00:16:06,440 --> 00:16:10,440 Speaker 1: of Somalia because that's who the Democrats wanted to cater to. 243 00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:15,640 Speaker 1: And now we see it coming to fruition in the 244 00:16:15,640 --> 00:16:18,360 Speaker 1: way that this has been embraced by the individuals the 245 00:16:18,520 --> 00:16:24,360 Speaker 1: radicals out on the streets. So between that and the 246 00:16:24,480 --> 00:16:28,880 Speaker 1: number of individuals that are getting the Minnesota Star Wars 247 00:16:29,120 --> 00:16:33,360 Speaker 1: Rebel Loon tattoo, which is also serving as a viral 248 00:16:33,480 --> 00:16:38,400 Speaker 1: symbol of resistance, once again, we have another leftist cause 249 00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:44,720 Speaker 1: that's been marketed, been peddled by the Democrat leadership. They've 250 00:16:44,800 --> 00:16:49,120 Speaker 1: labeled the controversy. It's all manufactured. Listen to this from 251 00:16:49,160 --> 00:16:49,800 Speaker 1: Fox nine. 252 00:16:50,040 --> 00:16:53,200 Speaker 7: It's definitely the most most requested individual. 253 00:16:52,840 --> 00:16:53,720 Speaker 1: Design of all of them. 254 00:16:53,720 --> 00:16:58,400 Speaker 2: At Art Prices Studio in Northeast Minneapolis, volunteers print protest 255 00:16:58,480 --> 00:17:02,520 Speaker 2: logos on closed people bring in free of charge. But 256 00:17:02,640 --> 00:17:06,080 Speaker 2: one design is far and away the most popular because 257 00:17:06,080 --> 00:17:09,040 Speaker 2: it was inspired by a galaxy far far away. 258 00:17:09,359 --> 00:17:16,320 Speaker 7: It is a very poignant image which captures a very 259 00:17:18,840 --> 00:17:19,880 Speaker 7: complicated time. 260 00:17:20,080 --> 00:17:23,920 Speaker 2: It's a variation on the Rebel Loon designed by Bernardo Anderson, 261 00:17:24,200 --> 00:17:27,359 Speaker 2: which combines Minnesota state bird with the symbol of the 262 00:17:27,400 --> 00:17:31,760 Speaker 2: Rebel Alliance from Star Wars. Anderson says watching people from 263 00:17:31,800 --> 00:17:35,520 Speaker 2: all walks of life come together to protest Operation Metro 264 00:17:35,680 --> 00:17:39,439 Speaker 2: Surge reminded him of the characters from different worlds joining 265 00:17:39,480 --> 00:17:43,520 Speaker 2: forces to battle the powerful Empire in the science fiction classic. 266 00:17:43,800 --> 00:17:46,439 Speaker 1: It seemed like there was a lot of unity and hope, 267 00:17:46,600 --> 00:17:49,159 Speaker 1: and I wanted to kind of symbolize that in some 268 00:17:49,240 --> 00:17:52,399 Speaker 1: way that showcase how we're coming together. 269 00:17:52,800 --> 00:17:55,760 Speaker 2: Thin Anderson posted the Rebel Loon on Reddit under a 270 00:17:55,760 --> 00:17:59,840 Speaker 2: public domain license to encourage people to use and adapt it. 271 00:18:00,840 --> 00:18:04,760 Speaker 2: The logo spread like wildfire, with social media filled with 272 00:18:04,840 --> 00:18:09,120 Speaker 2: examples of Anderson's creation. Green Day front man Billy Joe 273 00:18:09,240 --> 00:18:12,200 Speaker 2: Armstrong even had a Rebel Loon sticker on his guitar 274 00:18:12,720 --> 00:18:15,119 Speaker 2: while performing at a pre Super Bowl party. 275 00:18:15,480 --> 00:18:18,760 Speaker 1: Man, I would be a shame if the marketing team 276 00:18:18,960 --> 00:18:21,760 Speaker 1: over at Disney and Lucasfilm found out about this, because 277 00:18:21,800 --> 00:18:24,480 Speaker 1: I imagine that if anybody is making any sort of 278 00:18:24,560 --> 00:18:30,040 Speaker 1: money whatsoever off of using copyrighted Star Wars material, they'll 279 00:18:30,040 --> 00:18:33,720 Speaker 1: probably be told to stop. Stacy on the Right posted 280 00:18:33,760 --> 00:18:36,719 Speaker 1: this online. I'm going to add a little bit to it, 281 00:18:36,760 --> 00:18:38,440 Speaker 1: but it's spot on, and then we'll talk with Liz 282 00:18:38,480 --> 00:18:42,399 Speaker 1: Collin from Alpha News. Minnesota state representative has the Hennepin 283 00:18:42,440 --> 00:18:45,359 Speaker 1: County Master voter file and uncovered proof of election fraud 284 00:18:45,359 --> 00:18:47,600 Speaker 1: in Minnesota. We'll talk about this in a number of 285 00:18:47,640 --> 00:18:49,879 Speaker 1: stories from Alpha News. But Stacy on the Right wrote 286 00:18:49,920 --> 00:18:55,119 Speaker 1: this the f ice refrain that we've heard. I'll toss 287 00:18:55,160 --> 00:18:59,240 Speaker 1: in the Star Wars Lone Resistance logos. It's just the 288 00:18:59,320 --> 00:19:03,920 Speaker 1: latest cost doom swap for free Palestine. Defund the police, 289 00:19:04,240 --> 00:19:07,240 Speaker 1: hands up, don't shoot, believe all women. I'm with her, 290 00:19:07,520 --> 00:19:10,159 Speaker 1: No blood for oil. I can't breathe we are the 291 00:19:10,240 --> 00:19:15,320 Speaker 1: ninety nine percent. The hashtag rotates, the outrage just simply 292 00:19:15,359 --> 00:19:19,879 Speaker 1: gets recycled. But it's always the same sanctimonious clowns, the 293 00:19:19,960 --> 00:19:25,000 Speaker 1: same hysterical tantrums, the same useless street theater, new flavor 294 00:19:25,280 --> 00:19:29,359 Speaker 1: of moral superiority every couple of years, same cast of 295 00:19:29,440 --> 00:19:36,600 Speaker 1: perpetual protesters, same zero actual results. It's not activism, it's lazy. 296 00:19:36,720 --> 00:19:42,359 Speaker 1: It's taxpayer and foundation funded lifestyle subscription for spoiled narcissists 297 00:19:42,920 --> 00:19:46,560 Speaker 1: who want the cheap dopamine hit of feeling holier than 298 00:19:46,600 --> 00:19:51,720 Speaker 1: thou without ever having to build a darned thing, solve 299 00:19:51,760 --> 00:19:57,560 Speaker 1: a real problem, take responsibility, lead anyone, or produce one 300 00:19:57,880 --> 00:20:02,920 Speaker 1: measurable win in the real world.

In Hennepin County, we had two thousand, 340 00:22:09,920 --> 00:22:14,560 Speaker 10: nine ninety two voters that have missing information, so by 341 00:22:14,760 --> 00:22:18,520 Speaker 10: state and federal law, information that has to be provided, 342 00:22:18,640 --> 00:22:22,800 Speaker 10: important things like names, addresses, birthdates, those kind of things 343 00:22:22,800 --> 00:22:24,640 Speaker 10: that are missing from. 344 00:22:24,720 --> 00:22:26,960 Speaker 1: Not just a couple, not just a handful, but thousands 345 00:22:26,960 --> 00:22:27,480 Speaker 1: of voters. 346 00:22:27,800 --> 00:22:30,440 Speaker 9: And then also some with this unusual information. You said 347 00:22:30,480 --> 00:22:34,640 Speaker 9: you've seen the same first, middle, and last name and address, 348 00:22:34,680 --> 00:22:36,199 Speaker 9: but different ages. 349 00:22:36,960 --> 00:22:37,960 Speaker 11: Yeah, that's correct. 350 00:22:38,320 --> 00:22:42,160 Speaker 10: You know, we're seeing what possibly could be duplicate voters 351 00:22:42,240 --> 00:22:45,520 Speaker 10: where it's the exact same name, the exact same address, 352 00:22:45,920 --> 00:22:49,399 Speaker 10: but perhaps the birth year is two years apart or 353 00:22:49,440 --> 00:22:50,320 Speaker 10: five years apart. 354 00:22:51,000 --> 00:22:51,600 Speaker 11: So we are. 355 00:22:51,560 --> 00:22:54,200 Speaker 10: Seeing that, and again we're just looking at this, Liz 356 00:22:54,280 --> 00:22:59,280 Speaker 10: from a very you know, very high level. Secretary Steve 357 00:22:59,320 --> 00:23:02,280 Speaker 10: Simon was asked for the voter rolls from the federal 358 00:23:02,320 --> 00:23:05,080 Speaker 10: government to help clean them up or to see if 359 00:23:05,080 --> 00:23:08,080 Speaker 10: we need any help in Minnesota. And I would say, 360 00:23:08,119 --> 00:23:11,800 Speaker 10: after looking at this information, we definitely need some help 361 00:23:11,840 --> 00:23:16,640 Speaker 10: here in Minnesota because the roles are not clean or 362 00:23:16,640 --> 00:23:19,879 Speaker 10: what anyone would consider reliable or accurate. 363 00:23:20,040 --> 00:23:23,720 Speaker 1: And again that was the representative Republican out of red 364 00:23:23,720 --> 00:23:27,560 Speaker 1: wing Pam Altendorf, and talking with the wife to Bob 365 00:23:27,640 --> 00:23:30,119 Speaker 1: Kroll and journalist over at Alpha News, Liz Collin, who 366 00:23:30,200 --> 00:23:32,080 Speaker 1: joins me once again this morning. Good morning, Liz. 367 00:23:32,680 --> 00:23:36,240 Speaker 12: Thanks for that reminder. I sometimes forget good morning. 368 00:23:36,240 --> 00:23:37,720 Speaker 1: How are you doing, Jen, I'm doing, you know what, 369 00:23:37,840 --> 00:23:40,840 Speaker 1: no shortage of news. I couldn't be having a better 370 00:23:40,920 --> 00:23:45,920 Speaker 1: day between Star Wars loons and Flags of protests and 371 00:23:46,240 --> 00:23:51,720 Speaker 1: oh yeah, the apparent to Ice background checkers getting arrested 372 00:23:51,760 --> 00:23:54,840 Speaker 1: for prostitution and suddenly police care so much about Has 373 00:23:54,840 --> 00:23:56,240 Speaker 1: I been a lot to talk about this morning? 374 00:23:56,960 --> 00:24:00,320 Speaker 9: Actually it was the sound from Governor Walls that it 375 00:24:00,400 --> 00:24:02,720 Speaker 9: was like I might have to switch to the radio 376 00:24:02,760 --> 00:24:05,399 Speaker 9: station here pretty quick. This is this has gone on 377 00:24:05,480 --> 00:24:08,879 Speaker 9: too long. But yes, you've a lot to cover. He 378 00:24:08,920 --> 00:24:09,960 Speaker 9: had a lot to say yesterday. 379 00:24:10,119 --> 00:24:12,200 Speaker 1: There's been so much going on that I actually forgot about. 380 00:24:12,240 --> 00:24:14,120 Speaker 1: Probably that was the most important clip that I played 381 00:24:14,119 --> 00:24:16,680 Speaker 1: this morning of Wall saying that everybody else has forgotten 382 00:24:16,680 --> 00:24:19,720 Speaker 1: about fraud but him. I couldn't believe. 383 00:24:19,720 --> 00:24:23,760 Speaker 9: It's incredible, it's incredible. Yeah, thank thank god, he hasn't forgotten. 384 00:24:23,760 --> 00:24:25,359 Speaker 9: He's getting to the bottom of it. 385 00:24:25,480 --> 00:24:29,520 Speaker 1: So so it's so strange. And again, my only explanation 386 00:24:29,680 --> 00:24:32,960 Speaker 1: is that he really does hope that when because the 387 00:24:33,000 --> 00:24:36,040 Speaker 1: fraud story is obviously coming to the forefront, and we'll 388 00:24:36,080 --> 00:24:39,560 Speaker 1: talk about the you know, apparent election fraud that may 389 00:24:39,560 --> 00:24:42,760 Speaker 1: have been uncovered with Representative Voltendorf. But I really do 390 00:24:42,920 --> 00:24:45,520 Speaker 1: think that he is hoping that when people see stories 391 00:24:45,560 --> 00:24:47,960 Speaker 1: about fraud, they'll remember that clip being well, we're only 392 00:24:47,960 --> 00:24:50,320 Speaker 1: hearing about this because Walls is the only one that 393 00:24:50,520 --> 00:24:53,440 Speaker 1: cares about it. I can't provide any other rational explanation 394 00:24:53,520 --> 00:24:54,879 Speaker 1: other than that, Liz Colin. 395 00:24:55,280 --> 00:24:59,200 Speaker 9: It is truly amazing how much he talks and says, 396 00:24:59,240 --> 00:25:00,840 Speaker 9: and I'm like, does he even believe this? 397 00:25:01,000 --> 00:25:02,920 Speaker 11: I just don't. But they're always you're right though. 398 00:25:02,960 --> 00:25:07,160 Speaker 9: This tightly choreographed press conferences, These press conferences that happen, 399 00:25:07,720 --> 00:25:12,159 Speaker 9: you know, these photo ops very much controlled. You know, 400 00:25:12,240 --> 00:25:15,800 Speaker 9: sometimes two questions, sometimes no questions, and the questions are like, 401 00:25:15,840 --> 00:25:18,399 Speaker 9: tell us, tell us more, how how great you are 402 00:25:18,440 --> 00:25:19,600 Speaker 9: and all the great things you're doing. 403 00:25:19,440 --> 00:25:20,520 Speaker 11: For the state of Minnesota. 404 00:25:20,800 --> 00:25:22,960 Speaker 1: But for those that might have missed it, really quick, 405 00:25:23,040 --> 00:25:24,520 Speaker 1: let me go ahead and play it's about thirty seconds. 406 00:25:24,560 --> 00:25:26,000 Speaker 1: Let me go ahead and play the clips, since we 407 00:25:26,080 --> 00:25:27,919 Speaker 1: haven't played it in about an hour or so. For 408 00:25:27,960 --> 00:25:30,159 Speaker 1: those that may have missed, what we're referring to this 409 00:25:30,200 --> 00:25:31,720 Speaker 1: is Governor Tim Wallas from yesterday. 410 00:25:31,840 --> 00:25:34,320 Speaker 8: They don't even have any people working at these agencies, 411 00:25:34,320 --> 00:25:36,280 Speaker 8: so they request the data and they don't go anywhere. 412 00:25:36,560 --> 00:25:39,320 Speaker 8: The people who are the attorneys that should actually be 413 00:25:39,400 --> 00:25:44,439 Speaker 8: prosecuting on ice cases. The lead prosecutor quit yesterday. Fraud 414 00:25:44,640 --> 00:25:48,199 Speaker 8: is a long forgotten thing for everybody except me and 415 00:25:48,240 --> 00:25:50,399 Speaker 8: people in Minnesota who know we need to prosecute it 416 00:25:50,400 --> 00:25:51,200 Speaker 8: and do what's right. 417 00:25:53,480 --> 00:25:56,280 Speaker 11: It is amazing. It's really amazing. 418 00:25:56,520 --> 00:26:00,239 Speaker 1: I thought it was ai. Yeah, all right, le us 419 00:26:00,240 --> 00:26:02,359 Speaker 1: get into what your conversation. We played a clip a 420 00:26:02,400 --> 00:26:05,960 Speaker 1: moment ago. I know that Hennepin County has provided its 421 00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:11,320 Speaker 1: complete master list in response to a request from Representative Altendorf, 422 00:26:11,320 --> 00:26:14,520 Speaker 1: and it has revealed several red flags in the data. 423 00:26:14,520 --> 00:26:16,200 Speaker 1: I can run through this here in just a moment, 424 00:26:16,280 --> 00:26:18,919 Speaker 1: But what else can you tell me about what you 425 00:26:19,040 --> 00:26:22,240 Speaker 1: gleaned in terms of information and what the representative was 426 00:26:22,320 --> 00:26:24,959 Speaker 1: able to discover in her query. 427 00:26:26,080 --> 00:26:28,400 Speaker 9: Yeah, I think that part of the backstory is kind 428 00:26:28,400 --> 00:26:32,320 Speaker 9: of telling as well here. So Representative Altenorf, it's November 429 00:26:32,359 --> 00:26:36,000 Speaker 9: when she makes this request, actually makes the request of 430 00:26:36,080 --> 00:26:40,680 Speaker 9: four counties. But it's interesting, is so basically under the law, 431 00:26:41,440 --> 00:26:43,800 Speaker 9: her position and such, it looks like, you know, she's 432 00:26:44,119 --> 00:26:47,879 Speaker 9: entitled to see these voter roles. Within a couple of days, 433 00:26:48,560 --> 00:26:52,359 Speaker 9: Secretary of State Steve Simon sends out a directive basically saying, 434 00:26:52,680 --> 00:26:56,160 Speaker 9: you know this, we're aware that this lawmaker has requested this. 435 00:26:57,000 --> 00:26:59,080 Speaker 9: You know, they'd be allowed to see X, Y and z. 436 00:26:59,280 --> 00:27:01,440 Speaker 9: That kind of thing is spelled out in the directive. 437 00:27:02,000 --> 00:27:03,760 Speaker 9: But we've seen that again and again that there have 438 00:27:03,840 --> 00:27:08,560 Speaker 9: been you know, grassroots groups, election integrity experts if you will, 439 00:27:08,600 --> 00:27:10,480 Speaker 9: that have kind of come into Minnesota and they asked 440 00:27:10,480 --> 00:27:14,240 Speaker 9: for certain information at every corner they're met with resistance, 441 00:27:14,280 --> 00:27:17,879 Speaker 9: it seems in a way from the Secretary of State's office, 442 00:27:17,880 --> 00:27:21,360 Speaker 9: and that's what Altendorf seems to have encountered as well. 443 00:27:21,400 --> 00:27:24,760 Speaker 9: But then amazingly in January, the first part of January, 444 00:27:25,200 --> 00:27:28,400 Speaker 9: she gets, you know, they kind of consider the complete 445 00:27:28,840 --> 00:27:32,600 Speaker 9: voter role data from head of Been County the first 446 00:27:32,600 --> 00:27:36,560 Speaker 9: week of January, and you know, just through her team 447 00:27:36,560 --> 00:27:42,160 Speaker 9: and their analysis, there's enough there that there are questions 448 00:27:41,160 --> 00:27:44,840 Speaker 9: about these roles and to show, as she says that 449 00:27:44,880 --> 00:27:47,359 Speaker 9: you know that they are not clean with twenty percent 450 00:27:47,440 --> 00:27:52,480 Speaker 9: of you know, voters in one area alone that have 451 00:27:53,760 --> 00:27:59,159 Speaker 9: you know, different different information, the just a lot of 452 00:27:59,200 --> 00:28:03,200 Speaker 9: different things that are broken down and those are challenged voters, 453 00:28:03,359 --> 00:28:06,560 Speaker 9: I should say, but three thousand voters with missing data 454 00:28:06,760 --> 00:28:10,760 Speaker 9: all together, I think it was five hundred and three 455 00:28:11,320 --> 00:28:15,959 Speaker 9: voters born in nineteen twenty six or earlier. That's been 456 00:28:15,960 --> 00:28:19,680 Speaker 9: an issue that there is a something with people who 457 00:28:19,680 --> 00:28:22,359 Speaker 9: are over one hundred and why hasn't that been cleaned 458 00:28:22,400 --> 00:28:24,000 Speaker 9: up at this point because it's something the state is 459 00:28:24,040 --> 00:28:27,200 Speaker 9: aware of, so anyway, enough enough questions that and also 460 00:28:27,320 --> 00:28:29,640 Speaker 9: kind of that message of if there is nothing to hide, 461 00:28:29,680 --> 00:28:31,360 Speaker 9: why can't you know exactly. 462 00:28:31,440 --> 00:28:35,960 Speaker 1: The federal government have these roles exactly. No, And that's 463 00:28:36,840 --> 00:28:39,640 Speaker 1: exactly what I was thinking in that moment was if listen, 464 00:28:39,640 --> 00:28:41,560 Speaker 1: if everything is on the up and up and there 465 00:28:41,600 --> 00:28:44,400 Speaker 1: are no problems here, there is no reason to not 466 00:28:44,440 --> 00:28:46,840 Speaker 1: turn over the information. And at the same time, even 467 00:28:46,880 --> 00:28:48,640 Speaker 1: if there are problems, there still is no reason to 468 00:28:48,680 --> 00:28:51,360 Speaker 1: turn over the information because you would want to get 469 00:28:51,400 --> 00:28:53,640 Speaker 1: to the issue of solving this. You know, I'm looking 470 00:28:53,720 --> 00:28:55,280 Speaker 1: off you read a few of these here, and I'm 471 00:28:55,280 --> 00:28:58,040 Speaker 1: looking at the red flag list just to sort of 472 00:28:58,080 --> 00:29:01,400 Speaker 1: dovetail and to what you said. Entries with unrealistic or 473 00:29:01,440 --> 00:29:06,080 Speaker 1: impossible birth dates, lacking essential details and records addresses birth dates, 474 00:29:06,440 --> 00:29:09,360 Speaker 1: thousands of voters marked with challenge status due to doubts 475 00:29:09,640 --> 00:29:12,600 Speaker 1: about their voting eligibility, and yet they're attempting to go 476 00:29:12,640 --> 00:29:15,800 Speaker 1: and keep all of this, all of this hidden. And 477 00:29:16,240 --> 00:29:18,160 Speaker 1: it really goes back to, Liz, what you and I 478 00:29:18,160 --> 00:29:20,400 Speaker 1: have talked about so much and when ended up bringing 479 00:29:20,520 --> 00:29:23,000 Speaker 1: you to Alpha News in the story that you've told 480 00:29:23,320 --> 00:29:25,760 Speaker 1: is that there's an expectation that there's going to be 481 00:29:25,880 --> 00:29:28,480 Speaker 1: a level in which the local media is simply not 482 00:29:28,960 --> 00:29:30,959 Speaker 1: going to follow up and report on this and so 483 00:29:31,040 --> 00:29:33,040 Speaker 1: they can go and hide this data. They're not going 484 00:29:33,080 --> 00:29:37,000 Speaker 1: to see any sort of pushback coming from those entities 485 00:29:37,040 --> 00:29:39,160 Speaker 1: that should be pushing back and asking the right questions. 486 00:29:39,240 --> 00:29:40,880 Speaker 1: They know those questions aren't going to be asked. 487 00:29:41,560 --> 00:29:42,160 Speaker 11: Oh absolutely. 488 00:29:42,200 --> 00:29:44,400 Speaker 9: I don't expect this story to be on on the 489 00:29:44,440 --> 00:29:47,200 Speaker 9: local news, no doubt. I'm aware of some things happening 490 00:29:47,240 --> 00:29:49,560 Speaker 9: behind the scenes with voter in tegrity in Minnesota. So 491 00:29:50,120 --> 00:29:54,600 Speaker 9: there's definitely more to come on this topic. 492 00:29:55,240 --> 00:29:57,480 Speaker 1: I want to move over to I haven't talked about 493 00:29:57,520 --> 00:29:59,520 Speaker 1: this yet this morning. I know that you had shared 494 00:29:59,520 --> 00:30:03,320 Speaker 1: this over ICE agents escorting a defendant from the Hennepin 495 00:30:03,360 --> 00:30:07,760 Speaker 1: County courthouse. This has gone and made Hennepin County Attorney 496 00:30:07,760 --> 00:30:10,440 Speaker 1: Mary moriy Arny big mad. She went and posted a 497 00:30:10,520 --> 00:30:13,400 Speaker 1: video about this yesterday. Before we do this, though, I 498 00:30:13,400 --> 00:30:16,360 Speaker 1: want to play a quick audio clip. It's about thirty 499 00:30:16,400 --> 00:30:20,760 Speaker 1: seven seconds. This is Fox News Jessica Tarloff talking about 500 00:30:20,840 --> 00:30:25,120 Speaker 1: the issue of what Republicans actually voted for, regarding in 501 00:30:25,160 --> 00:30:27,600 Speaker 1: her mind, what they voted for when it comes to deportations. 502 00:30:27,600 --> 00:30:28,800 Speaker 1: Here's a bit of what she had to say on 503 00:30:28,840 --> 00:30:29,880 Speaker 1: Fox News last week. 504 00:30:30,200 --> 00:30:32,560 Speaker 13: They need to cooperate with Ice to hand over people 505 00:30:32,600 --> 00:30:35,360 Speaker 13: who have been convicted of something. I'm not talking about 506 00:30:35,400 --> 00:30:39,080 Speaker 13: crossing the border as something that is convictable. I'm saying 507 00:30:39,080 --> 00:30:40,760 Speaker 13: that if you commit a crime, once you are on 508 00:30:40,920 --> 00:30:43,040 Speaker 13: US soil, you should be turned over to ICE. And 509 00:30:43,080 --> 00:30:45,160 Speaker 13: I think that's an easy exchange, and that's what people 510 00:30:45,240 --> 00:30:48,120 Speaker 13: voted for in November, and you would have a much 511 00:30:48,120 --> 00:30:51,040 Speaker 13: stronger case against the overreach that we're seeing in terms 512 00:30:51,080 --> 00:30:53,160 Speaker 13: of what ICE is doing now that is not commensurate 513 00:30:53,200 --> 00:30:55,640 Speaker 13: with what the American public wants. They didn't vote for 514 00:30:55,640 --> 00:30:57,640 Speaker 13: people to show up at home depots, they didn't vote 515 00:30:57,640 --> 00:31:00,280 Speaker 13: for people to show up at immigration courts. Vote for 516 00:31:00,360 --> 00:31:02,240 Speaker 13: the fact that there's no data out from CATO that 517 00:31:02,360 --> 00:31:05,000 Speaker 13: sixty five percent of the people that ICE has taken 518 00:31:05,000 --> 00:31:07,240 Speaker 13: into custody have had no convictions. 519 00:31:07,600 --> 00:31:10,520 Speaker 1: Well, I won't speak for you, Liz or the listener. 520 00:31:10,640 --> 00:31:13,440 Speaker 1: I voted for all those things. I have no problem 521 00:31:13,480 --> 00:31:16,560 Speaker 1: with individuals being taken into custody at their place of 522 00:31:16,560 --> 00:31:20,560 Speaker 1: business or in this case, at an immigration court. What 523 00:31:20,720 --> 00:31:25,200 Speaker 1: happened yesterday, talk about how we had individuals descending on 524 00:31:25,280 --> 00:31:27,120 Speaker 1: the ICE agents and who this person was that they 525 00:31:27,160 --> 00:31:28,040 Speaker 1: went to go and detain. 526 00:31:29,440 --> 00:31:32,320 Speaker 9: Yeah, so we got to Tip and then some video 527 00:31:32,560 --> 00:31:36,080 Speaker 9: sent to us over at Alpha. But you can clearly 528 00:31:36,080 --> 00:31:40,200 Speaker 9: see some agents putting a man in a vehicle and 529 00:31:40,240 --> 00:31:44,640 Speaker 9: there is a large crowd surrounding them all as this 530 00:31:44,680 --> 00:31:45,560 Speaker 9: is happening. 531 00:31:45,680 --> 00:31:46,880 Speaker 11: And we learned that. 532 00:31:48,320 --> 00:31:52,280 Speaker 9: Among the crowd there are some public defenders that are 533 00:31:52,280 --> 00:31:55,920 Speaker 9: also following this crowd. Not only that, but the car 534 00:31:55,960 --> 00:31:59,760 Speaker 9: as it's driving away the Ice agents or someone with 535 00:31:59,840 --> 00:32:02,480 Speaker 9: the federal government one of the agencies. They're driving away 536 00:32:02,520 --> 00:32:05,640 Speaker 9: and someone tries to open up the car door and 537 00:32:05,720 --> 00:32:08,280 Speaker 9: sort of chase the car down the road. Well, so 538 00:32:08,320 --> 00:32:11,640 Speaker 9: we go ahead and report how this defendant from the 539 00:32:11,640 --> 00:32:15,760 Speaker 9: Henpon County Courthouse was detained. Public defenders are in the crowd. 540 00:32:15,880 --> 00:32:18,280 Speaker 9: At one point, a woman tries to open the car 541 00:32:18,320 --> 00:32:20,520 Speaker 9: door as it drives away. This happened just before noon 542 00:32:20,560 --> 00:32:23,800 Speaker 9: at the Henpon County Courthouse yesterday. Well, it turns out 543 00:32:24,600 --> 00:32:27,760 Speaker 9: this man was facing a first degree drug charges for 544 00:32:28,000 --> 00:32:34,320 Speaker 9: possession of fifty pounds of methem pedimi pol. Yes. 545 00:32:35,000 --> 00:32:37,640 Speaker 12: Yeah, not only is Mary Moriarty. 546 00:32:37,240 --> 00:32:41,320 Speaker 9: Big man John, the local media just cannot stand the 547 00:32:41,360 --> 00:32:44,320 Speaker 9: fact that this guy, this guy was picked up. So 548 00:32:44,360 --> 00:32:46,920 Speaker 9: I actually tweeted just a couple of headlines. You have 549 00:32:47,000 --> 00:32:50,960 Speaker 9: care levin Henpin County attorney criticizes ICE courthouse arrests, warns 550 00:32:51,000 --> 00:32:54,440 Speaker 9: of impact on court participation. And then we have from 551 00:32:54,480 --> 00:32:58,080 Speaker 9: the Star Tribune Federal agents make a chaotic arrest at 552 00:32:58,120 --> 00:33:02,640 Speaker 9: downtown Minneapolis courthouse amids of lawyers observers. 553 00:33:03,240 --> 00:33:04,200 Speaker 11: No nobody's to. 554 00:33:04,120 --> 00:33:07,200 Speaker 9: Blame for the chaos, of course in any of these articles, 555 00:33:08,080 --> 00:33:11,160 Speaker 9: but really quite something to see the video is pretty 556 00:33:11,200 --> 00:33:14,080 Speaker 9: insane that this, you know, continues to allow allowed to happen. 557 00:33:14,120 --> 00:33:17,280 Speaker 9: To remind your listeners, it was last week where there 558 00:33:17,280 --> 00:33:21,200 Speaker 9: were two people, a man and a woman, accused of 559 00:33:21,440 --> 00:33:24,520 Speaker 9: kidnapping and raping a fourteen year old girl that Ice 560 00:33:24,560 --> 00:33:28,040 Speaker 9: detained at the courthouse, and Moriarity was not pleased with 561 00:33:28,040 --> 00:33:28,560 Speaker 9: that as well. 562 00:33:29,280 --> 00:33:33,560 Speaker 1: The reality that the Left tries to paint it really 563 00:33:33,640 --> 00:33:37,160 Speaker 1: is an alternate universe. So you have a courthouse where 564 00:33:37,200 --> 00:33:40,360 Speaker 1: you have people that have allegedly done bad things and 565 00:33:40,400 --> 00:33:43,480 Speaker 1: broken the law and they're there to go through the 566 00:33:43,680 --> 00:33:46,880 Speaker 1: due process. You have law enforcement agencies of all types 567 00:33:46,880 --> 00:33:50,080 Speaker 1: that are always there, and yet suddenly now we're supposed 568 00:33:50,120 --> 00:33:53,640 Speaker 1: to be worried about the law enforcement agencies going and 569 00:33:53,720 --> 00:33:57,760 Speaker 1: holding individuals accountable, especially a person like this with fifty 570 00:33:57,800 --> 00:34:00,000 Speaker 1: pounds of meth. It really raises the question if people 571 00:34:00,120 --> 00:34:03,160 Speaker 1: or that upset this guy got arrested, how many individuals 572 00:34:03,200 --> 00:34:07,000 Speaker 1: of prominence are actually doing meth in Minneapolis at this 573 00:34:07,040 --> 00:34:08,879 Speaker 1: point in time, if they're worried about this, getting off 574 00:34:09,200 --> 00:34:10,080 Speaker 1: this getting off right. 575 00:34:11,680 --> 00:34:12,279 Speaker 11: The drugs here. 576 00:34:12,560 --> 00:34:16,280 Speaker 9: I mean, I know, it's it's really it's really crazy. 577 00:34:16,360 --> 00:34:17,399 Speaker 11: It's just so crazy to. 578 00:34:17,360 --> 00:34:22,279 Speaker 1: Make make it, make it make sense. You know, let's 579 00:34:22,280 --> 00:34:24,520 Speaker 1: just back up in time. It just did we ever? 580 00:34:24,760 --> 00:34:26,640 Speaker 1: I mean, I know I didn't. Did you ever imagine 581 00:34:26,680 --> 00:34:28,600 Speaker 1: we would be where we are right now in the 582 00:34:28,600 --> 00:34:30,920 Speaker 1: middle of all this stuff? I mean if you had, 583 00:34:31,120 --> 00:34:33,080 Speaker 1: if you if I got back into a time machine 584 00:34:33,560 --> 00:34:35,520 Speaker 1: and you had told me five six years ago that 585 00:34:35,600 --> 00:34:37,200 Speaker 1: this would have been all of the different stories we 586 00:34:37,239 --> 00:34:39,920 Speaker 1: would have been covering. I don't think I could have 587 00:34:39,920 --> 00:34:42,000 Speaker 1: been convinced that this would have been the reality in 588 00:34:42,040 --> 00:34:45,400 Speaker 1: such a short period of time. It's truly astonishing, No, 589 00:34:45,800 --> 00:34:46,120 Speaker 1: it is. 590 00:34:46,160 --> 00:34:48,200 Speaker 9: And sometimes when I'm talking with these things out loud 591 00:34:48,239 --> 00:34:50,920 Speaker 9: and like, I really sound crazy that. 592 00:34:53,360 --> 00:34:54,720 Speaker 11: But you know, I get I guess. 593 00:34:54,719 --> 00:34:58,080 Speaker 12: I mean, you know, it's nice to it's nice to 594 00:34:58,120 --> 00:34:58,959 Speaker 12: have common sense. 595 00:34:59,000 --> 00:35:01,600 Speaker 11: I guess it's a. It seems to not be. 596 00:35:01,600 --> 00:35:04,680 Speaker 12: So common, John, So I'm glad you're in on team 597 00:35:04,680 --> 00:35:05,160 Speaker 12: common sets. 598 00:35:05,200 --> 00:35:06,200 Speaker 11: It's a beautiful thing. 599 00:35:06,400 --> 00:35:08,520 Speaker 1: Again. I'm just glad we're getting those those guys that 600 00:35:08,560 --> 00:35:10,719 Speaker 1: are still listening for prostitution off the street. That's just 601 00:35:10,760 --> 00:35:13,120 Speaker 1: that's a that's a good thing. So let's go here 602 00:35:13,160 --> 00:35:15,120 Speaker 1: to this one. We were talking fraud earlier in the show. 603 00:35:15,160 --> 00:35:16,799 Speaker 1: Of course, Governor Tim Wallas is the only one that 604 00:35:16,840 --> 00:35:20,719 Speaker 1: cares about it. Minnesota Department of Human Services has now 605 00:35:20,760 --> 00:35:26,040 Speaker 1: provided payment totals showing that just three care providers, which 606 00:35:26,600 --> 00:35:29,840 Speaker 1: seemed largely empty when you over at Alpha News visited, 607 00:35:30,239 --> 00:35:33,200 Speaker 1: collectively received more than twelve point three million dollars in 608 00:35:33,280 --> 00:35:36,359 Speaker 1: state funds, and this was more than public records showed 609 00:35:36,400 --> 00:35:38,120 Speaker 1: at the time of the initial reporting. 610 00:35:38,160 --> 00:35:40,840 Speaker 11: That's correct, right, Yeah, So this is crazy. 611 00:35:40,840 --> 00:35:45,040 Speaker 9: We were doing these checks, my colleague Jenna Globe and myself, 612 00:35:45,080 --> 00:35:46,200 Speaker 9: we were out. 613 00:35:46,080 --> 00:35:47,400 Speaker 11: And about checking some of these places. 614 00:35:47,400 --> 00:35:50,319 Speaker 9: This specific story, this update that was posted yesterday over 615 00:35:50,360 --> 00:35:53,520 Speaker 9: at alphanews dot org focuses on these these three. But 616 00:35:53,560 --> 00:35:55,680 Speaker 9: there is a database that it's very easy where you 617 00:35:55,719 --> 00:35:58,480 Speaker 9: go check and you see how much you know, funding 618 00:35:59,760 --> 00:36:02,640 Speaker 9: the places have received. You know, whether it is an 619 00:36:03,160 --> 00:36:06,640 Speaker 9: autism center, daycare, adult daycare, you know, all of these. 620 00:36:06,480 --> 00:36:07,920 Speaker 11: Things we've been hearing a lot about. 621 00:36:08,080 --> 00:36:11,719 Speaker 9: However, you have to put in a data request for 622 00:36:12,280 --> 00:36:15,000 Speaker 9: kind of a different part of the funding, which Jenna 623 00:36:15,040 --> 00:36:18,640 Speaker 9: went ahead and did. And due to I think Nick 624 00:36:18,680 --> 00:36:21,680 Speaker 9: Shirley's story blowing up around that time as well, these 625 00:36:21,760 --> 00:36:25,520 Speaker 9: data requests were taking a lot longer than before when 626 00:36:25,520 --> 00:36:26,080 Speaker 9: we had done some. 627 00:36:26,040 --> 00:36:30,200 Speaker 11: Of this reporting. So DHS comes back and you know, the. 628 00:36:30,120 --> 00:36:34,120 Speaker 9: Original story was a couple million or three million or 629 00:36:34,120 --> 00:36:37,840 Speaker 9: so between these locations.
