He's 27 00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:51,920 Speaker 6: the one that allowed his DHS to sit and ignore 28 00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:54,440 Speaker 6: all of the problems and let all this money fly 29 00:01:54,520 --> 00:01:57,560 Speaker 6: out the door. I mean, that's the first priority. You 30 00:01:57,600 --> 00:02:01,200 Speaker 6: got to spend the money that you have directly. Oh gosh, 31 00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:03,080 Speaker 6: you's such a done well. 32 00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:04,840 Speaker 1: And to that point, let's get to a few of 33 00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:05,279 Speaker 1: these stories. 34 00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:08,200 Speaker 2: We'll be talking with Representative Tom Emmer here on Twin 35 00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:10,240 Speaker 2: City's News Talk coming up in just a few minutes. 36 00:02:10,760 --> 00:02:16,320 Speaker 2: Legislators are one step closer to uncovering what's under all 37 00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:18,120 Speaker 2: of the black lines of. 38 00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:19,160 Speaker 1: The you know. 39 00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:21,320 Speaker 2: The article from Altfinus says, this is not a dig 40 00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:23,440 Speaker 2: on Alpha News, by the way, just an observation. The 41 00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:27,360 Speaker 2: article from ALFNUS says, of a heavily redacted third party 42 00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:30,399 Speaker 2: audit of the state's medicaid system, you might as well 43 00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:35,840 Speaker 2: just say redacted because almost the entirety I know it's 44 00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:40,120 Speaker 2: you know, heavily, but is there even anything available to read? 45 00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:43,000 Speaker 2: From what I've seen? There isn't in this optim report. 46 00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:48,040 Speaker 2: So this bill that was sent to the Senate it 47 00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:55,840 Speaker 2: passed the House one oh seven to twenty seven, would 48 00:02:55,880 --> 00:02:59,600 Speaker 2: require the release of the full Optum report to legislators. 49 00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:03,840 Speaker 2: The bill's sponsor says, we want to be partners in 50 00:03:03,919 --> 00:03:07,519 Speaker 2: not only fraud prevention, but loss prevention. Since its release 51 00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:11,320 Speaker 2: in January, legislators have wanted full access to the report. 52 00:03:11,880 --> 00:03:15,320 Speaker 1: That reviewed nine point four billion. 53 00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:19,040 Speaker 2: In claims across fourteen medicaid services that were deemed high 54 00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:22,400 Speaker 2: risk of fraud. Now, the report did show in part 55 00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:25,840 Speaker 2: the stronger policies prepayment safeguards could have saved more than 56 00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:30,840 Speaker 2: a billion over the last four years. A policy change 57 00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:33,400 Speaker 2: is required to fix this, however, and members have argued 58 00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:35,880 Speaker 2: they need full access to the report to inform their 59 00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:36,480 Speaker 2: decision making. 60 00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:37,080 Speaker 1: Of course they do. 61 00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:43,080 Speaker 2: The redactive portions of the report included sections on general 62 00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:45,760 Speaker 2: vulnerabilities and policy recommendations. 63 00:03:45,760 --> 00:03:47,240 Speaker 1: I have no idea why they would have liked all 64 00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:47,760 Speaker 1: this out. 65 00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:51,280 Speaker 2: Apart from the desire to go and cover up the 66 00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:54,320 Speaker 2: extent of the fraud that's been taking place to that point. 67 00:03:55,840 --> 00:03:57,440 Speaker 1: The big news from overnight. 68 00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:03,640 Speaker 2: Also from Alphanus Minnesota agency mistakingly believed it lacked the 69 00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:10,120 Speaker 2: authority to investigate kickbacks. According to the Office of Legislative Auditor, Okay, sure, 70 00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:15,360 Speaker 2: that's kind of like saying feeding our future actually fed 71 00:04:15,440 --> 00:04:21,880 Speaker 2: on hundreds of thousands of children and wasn't fraudulent. We just, 72 00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:24,479 Speaker 2: you know, we mistakingly didn't look at the kickbacks. I 73 00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:27,040 Speaker 2: just we didn't think we had the authority. Sorry, guys, 74 00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:29,200 Speaker 2: if we had known that what we know now, we 75 00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:30,000 Speaker 2: would have looked at this. 76 00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:30,480 Speaker 1: Okay. 77 00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:36,840 Speaker 2: So the report from the OLA examined how DHS handled 78 00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:42,600 Speaker 2: allegations of fraud within the Early Intensive Development Behavioral Intervention 79 00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:45,279 Speaker 2: the eid BI program. 80 00:04:45,279 --> 00:04:47,479 Speaker 1: I need an acronym for that. I mean, I need 81 00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:52,640 Speaker 1: a way to call this program something EDB. Sound right. 82 00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:56,000 Speaker 2: This is a federally funded state program that provides services 83 00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:59,479 Speaker 2: to people with autism, of which, apparently, according to the 84 00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:04,480 Speaker 2: way the fraud moss have been opening all of these 85 00:05:04,520 --> 00:05:08,159 Speaker 2: autism centers, one would think that this state is number 86 00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:10,279 Speaker 2: one for the number of people that are suffering from autism. 87 00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:11,920 Speaker 1: I don't think that's the case. 88 00:05:13,880 --> 00:05:19,799 Speaker 2: In short, the EIDBI reimburses outside organizations for providing services 89 00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:21,840 Speaker 2: to people under the age of twenty one who've been 90 00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:25,440 Speaker 2: diagnosed with autism. Last year, the EIDBI was one of 91 00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:27,360 Speaker 2: fourteen programs that were deemed high risk. 92 00:05:27,400 --> 00:05:29,320 Speaker 1: We've talked about this on the show by DHS. 93 00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:29,680 Speaker 7: Now. 94 00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:33,720 Speaker 2: According to the report released yesterday, the OLA reviewed how 95 00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:38,200 Speaker 2: DHS handled thirty two complaints against the EDBI providers. These 96 00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:41,400 Speaker 2: were a lodge between twenty seventeen and twenty twenty four. 97 00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:46,039 Speaker 2: In twenty five of those cases, DHS determined that the 98 00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:50,440 Speaker 2: situation did not warrant a further investigation. So I think, 99 00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:54,280 Speaker 2: first off, you've got questions regarding that. So why were 100 00:05:54,279 --> 00:06:00,280 Speaker 2: those twenty five determined no longer needing to be investigated? Now, 101 00:06:00,279 --> 00:06:06,040 Speaker 2: there were seven other cases DHS actually completed an investigation, Okay. 102 00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:09,960 Speaker 2: Regarding the seven that were completed, the OLA said, the 103 00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:13,880 Speaker 2: DHS did address the allegations made against the providers, took 104 00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:18,760 Speaker 2: appropriate action with holding payments, starting monetary recovery, and referring 105 00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:19,680 Speaker 2: cases to authorities. 106 00:06:19,760 --> 00:06:21,040 Speaker 1: Okay, that's good. 107 00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:24,479 Speaker 2: However, according to the OLA reports, some of the twenty 108 00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:28,279 Speaker 2: five complaints were outside of DHS's authority and were not 109 00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:32,240 Speaker 2: supported by the facts. Three of those twenty five cases 110 00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:38,480 Speaker 2: involved allegations of kickbacks, a situation where an EIDBI provider 111 00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:43,560 Speaker 2: pays someone to participate in their EIDBI program so the 112 00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:47,200 Speaker 2: provider can receive a higher reimbursement from the government. 113 00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:49,520 Speaker 1: Of those three. 114 00:06:49,400 --> 00:06:54,640 Speaker 2: Cases, two were closed because providers never requested reimbursement from DHS. 115 00:06:54,839 --> 00:06:58,000 Speaker 2: The third case was closed because DHS said we didn't 116 00:06:58,040 --> 00:07:00,799 Speaker 2: have the authority to investigate the allegation it only involving 117 00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:05,120 Speaker 2: kickbacks and no other fraudulent activity within EIDBI. Now, the 118 00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:12,280 Speaker 2: OLA disagreed, saying no DHS has had the authority to 119 00:07:12,400 --> 00:07:17,360 Speaker 2: investigate allegations of kickback in medicaid funded programs going back to. 120 00:07:17,360 --> 00:07:18,680 Speaker 1: The nineteen nineties. 121 00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:28,000 Speaker 2: Additionally, Tuesday Report on Tuesday's report said the Department could 122 00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:33,040 Speaker 2: have revised its administrative rules to impose sanctions on medicaid 123 00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:37,400 Speaker 2: providers suspected of engaging in kickbacks. Those sanctions could have 124 00:07:37,520 --> 00:07:43,000 Speaker 2: taken the form of reduced or withheld payments. Believing it 125 00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:46,720 Speaker 2: did not have the power so they say the authority 126 00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:50,880 Speaker 2: to address the kickbacks, DHS had lobbied for a state 127 00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:54,120 Speaker 2: law that would give it that power. The law was 128 00:07:54,160 --> 00:07:57,080 Speaker 2: eventually passed in twenty twenty five, but the Office of 129 00:07:57,160 --> 00:08:02,240 Speaker 2: Legislative Auditor says DHS's authority to suspend payments during a 130 00:08:02,320 --> 00:08:04,080 Speaker 2: kickback investigation. 131 00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:05,000 Speaker 1: Is still unclear. 132 00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:10,960 Speaker 2: The OLA recommended that DHS amend its an administrative rule, 133 00:08:11,240 --> 00:08:13,880 Speaker 2: and if DHS does not pursue an amendment, the legislature 134 00:08:13,920 --> 00:08:18,040 Speaker 2: should act to resolve the issue. Responding to the OLA report, 135 00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:23,400 Speaker 2: DHS said it was pleased doing that thing with my 136 00:08:23,440 --> 00:08:30,160 Speaker 2: fingers that most of the EIDBI complaints were handled appropriately. 137 00:08:30,680 --> 00:08:33,840 Speaker 2: The agency also noted that it believes it currently has 138 00:08:33,880 --> 00:08:38,440 Speaker 2: the legal authority to suspend payments based off of kickback allegations. Well, 139 00:08:38,440 --> 00:08:40,280 Speaker 2: I don't know about you, guys, but I certainly feel better. 140 00:08:42,920 --> 00:08:49,720 Speaker 2: They said, most of the complaints were handled appropriately, not all, 141 00:08:49,760 --> 00:08:55,360 Speaker 2: but you know, most of them. After the OLA report 142 00:08:55,440 --> 00:09:00,679 Speaker 2: was published, GOP State Senator Jordan Rasmusen Rasmussen slam DHS, 143 00:09:00,679 --> 00:09:04,440 Speaker 2: saying the Department of Human Services knew about potential kickbacks 144 00:09:04,440 --> 00:09:08,680 Speaker 2: and autism services and chose to ignore this theft from taxpayers. 145 00:09:08,720 --> 00:09:12,840 Speaker 2: Despite having the legal authority to stop kickbacks, DHS knowingly 146 00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:17,120 Speaker 2: allowed this service to be Defrauded's the Here's the first 147 00:09:17,160 --> 00:09:21,920 Speaker 2: question that I sort of have over this, and that is, 148 00:09:23,160 --> 00:09:26,199 Speaker 2: you have allegations, you have DHS, you have allegations of 149 00:09:26,280 --> 00:09:30,959 Speaker 2: kickbacks taking place, and fraud and your response is, well, 150 00:09:30,960 --> 00:09:33,240 Speaker 2: we don't have the authority to go and do anything 151 00:09:33,280 --> 00:09:35,920 Speaker 2: about this, so we're not going to do anything about it. 152 00:09:40,080 --> 00:09:45,800 Speaker 2: Did you bring it to anybody's concerns? I mean, ultimately, 153 00:09:45,880 --> 00:09:49,400 Speaker 2: can we not interview directly the decision makers regarding all 154 00:09:49,440 --> 00:09:49,559 Speaker 2: of this. 155 00:09:51,280 --> 00:09:54,040 Speaker 1: I know that we've heard from Shari Gandhi. 156 00:09:54,120 --> 00:09:57,280 Speaker 2: We're putting individuals who were actually there when all the 157 00:09:57,280 --> 00:09:59,959 Speaker 2: fraud was occurring and now they're in positions of pow. 158 00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:03,360 Speaker 2: But if you belong to the DFL, you rarely ever 159 00:10:03,440 --> 00:10:06,600 Speaker 2: lose a gig. You just get shuffled to another place. 160 00:10:06,920 --> 00:10:09,040 Speaker 2: I have a case in point later on this hour 161 00:10:09,480 --> 00:10:14,120 Speaker 2: with the return of Darth Malcolm is Jan Malcolm. She 162 00:10:14,160 --> 00:10:16,240 Speaker 2: got the Darth name going back to COVID, and that's 163 00:10:16,280 --> 00:10:22,480 Speaker 2: my point. This was the individual within Governor Tim Wallas's 164 00:10:22,480 --> 00:10:28,160 Speaker 2: administration in charge of the health related items during the 165 00:10:28,160 --> 00:10:31,319 Speaker 2: COVID pandemic, which was nothing short of an abject failure, 166 00:10:31,559 --> 00:10:38,320 Speaker 2: and now she's been given a new gig. I would 167 00:10:38,360 --> 00:10:41,600 Speaker 2: like answers from the people who in the moment made 168 00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:45,760 Speaker 2: these choices within DHS. As I said in the first 169 00:10:45,800 --> 00:10:49,400 Speaker 2: hour of the show, there are too many body buffers 170 00:10:49,720 --> 00:10:57,120 Speaker 2: blocking the people and ultimately accountability on these issues. Body 171 00:10:57,200 --> 00:11:01,880 Speaker 2: buffers blocking was really just inspired by Governor Tim Walls. 172 00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:06,280 Speaker 2: Buffalo Fluffalo Republican House Speaker Lisa Damuth, who will be 173 00:11:06,360 --> 00:11:09,800 Speaker 2: on the show tomorrow in the eight o'clock hour along 174 00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:12,800 Speaker 2: with GOP floor leader Harry Niskos, said the Walls administration 175 00:11:12,920 --> 00:11:16,439 Speaker 2: hid behind the false claim that they lack the authority 176 00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:19,360 Speaker 2: to act on allegations of kickbacks in the program. 177 00:11:19,559 --> 00:11:21,120 Speaker 1: You know what the excuse is going to be. It's 178 00:11:21,120 --> 00:11:22,080 Speaker 1: already in the story. 179 00:11:22,640 --> 00:11:26,600 Speaker 2: DHS is pleased that the OLA found most of the 180 00:11:26,600 --> 00:11:31,600 Speaker 2: complaints regarding EIDBI were handled appropriately. If this story gains 181 00:11:31,640 --> 00:11:34,120 Speaker 2: any more attraction, and almost every single news outlet has 182 00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:36,760 Speaker 2: this as its lead story late in the day yesterday 183 00:11:36,840 --> 00:11:39,120 Speaker 2: and today, if this ends up becoming a bigger story, 184 00:11:39,280 --> 00:11:41,480 Speaker 2: that will be the excuse if Governor Tim Walls has 185 00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:43,480 Speaker 2: to go and hold the press conference, for example, I 186 00:11:43,559 --> 00:11:47,360 Speaker 2: guarantee the line will be very similar to what DHS said, Well, 187 00:11:47,520 --> 00:11:50,800 Speaker 2: you know what, our track record was like ninety with 188 00:11:50,840 --> 00:11:55,880 Speaker 2: like ninety five percent on this. So but the question is, okay, 189 00:11:55,880 --> 00:11:58,320 Speaker 2: how much did that five percent where you didn't do 190 00:11:58,400 --> 00:12:00,640 Speaker 2: your job or you said you didn't have the power 191 00:12:00,679 --> 00:12:04,160 Speaker 2: to do your job. How much money did the taxpayer 192 00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:11,320 Speaker 2: lose in that particular case, Lisa dam said, today's report 193 00:12:11,400 --> 00:12:15,680 Speaker 2: proves that excuse was never true lacking the authority to act. 194 00:12:15,880 --> 00:12:18,080 Speaker 2: We now know that they always had the authority to 195 00:12:18,120 --> 00:12:20,839 Speaker 2: investigate these claims and once again chose not to act 196 00:12:21,120 --> 00:12:24,439 Speaker 2: to protect tax dollars. In recent years, the EIDBI program 197 00:12:24,480 --> 00:12:28,400 Speaker 2: spending has increased dramatically. According to the OLA, the spending 198 00:12:28,400 --> 00:12:31,520 Speaker 2: and the program grew from thirty eight point one million 199 00:12:31,559 --> 00:12:35,839 Speaker 2: in twenty twenty to a stunning three hundred and twenty 200 00:12:35,880 --> 00:12:42,800 Speaker 2: four point nine million in twenty twenty four. Oh Governor 201 00:12:42,840 --> 00:12:47,360 Speaker 2: Tim Walls, would you care to comment? Buffalo Fluffalo Representative 202 00:12:47,400 --> 00:12:49,719 Speaker 2: Tom Emmer joins us next here on Twin Cities News 203 00:12:49,760 --> 00:12:57,640 Speaker 2: Talk Am eleven thirty and one oh three five FM. 204 00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:00,240 Speaker 1: I was sharing audio earlier on the show. 205 00:13:00,440 --> 00:13:04,280 Speaker 2: Governor Tim Walls, his ex account, had put out a 206 00:13:04,320 --> 00:13:07,520 Speaker 2: montage video where he'd gone and visited a school talking 207 00:13:07,559 --> 00:13:10,600 Speaker 2: about his budget proposal even though we're not in a 208 00:13:10,640 --> 00:13:14,480 Speaker 2: budget year. During the legislative session, he's looking to create 209 00:13:14,559 --> 00:13:20,160 Speaker 2: more arguments for dfellas to use against Republicans and the 210 00:13:20,240 --> 00:13:24,960 Speaker 2: upcoming elections here in Minnesota. However, in that clip, Governor 211 00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:29,160 Speaker 2: Tim Walls is reading a story to a group of school. 212 00:13:28,960 --> 00:13:31,239 Speaker 1: Children, Buffalo Fluffalo. 213 00:13:31,520 --> 00:13:34,800 Speaker 2: I think I'm beginning to understand why Hope Walls his 214 00:13:34,920 --> 00:13:38,440 Speaker 2: daughter is the way that she is. If this is 215 00:13:38,480 --> 00:13:42,920 Speaker 2: how Governor Tim Walls was reading children's stories to his 216 00:13:43,240 --> 00:13:47,040 Speaker 2: own kids, I think it actually says a lot. 217 00:13:47,559 --> 00:13:50,240 Speaker 8: And all the creatures, from the bats to the bugs, 218 00:13:50,280 --> 00:13:53,920 Speaker 8: covered old fluff with kisses and hugs. And that's how 219 00:13:53,960 --> 00:13:58,760 Speaker 8: the story of Fluffalo ends with a happy old buffalo 220 00:13:59,760 --> 00:14:01,800 Speaker 8: no going his brand. 221 00:14:06,360 --> 00:14:08,040 Speaker 1: I'm so glad he's not going to be our governor 222 00:14:08,040 --> 00:14:09,960 Speaker 1: for much longer. Oh. 223 00:14:10,040 --> 00:14:11,680 Speaker 2: I could think of a no better person to have 224 00:14:11,720 --> 00:14:13,720 Speaker 2: on the show right now than Representative Tom Ember. 225 00:14:13,760 --> 00:14:18,480 Speaker 1: Good morning, my friend, Hey, good morning John. Are you 226 00:14:18,520 --> 00:14:20,160 Speaker 1: familiar with Buffalo Fluffalo. 227 00:14:20,600 --> 00:14:22,560 Speaker 2: I never heard of that children's story before I heard 228 00:14:22,560 --> 00:14:26,440 Speaker 2: Governor Tim Walls I'm reading it to a group of children. 229 00:14:27,760 --> 00:14:30,680 Speaker 7: I'm going to tell you when you said Fluffalo right away, 230 00:14:30,760 --> 00:14:33,360 Speaker 7: the first thing that came to my mind was Kimmy Wall. 231 00:14:33,600 --> 00:14:36,440 Speaker 1: I don't know why. 232 00:14:37,400 --> 00:14:40,440 Speaker 7: I don't know why, but I mean, it's just I 233 00:14:40,480 --> 00:14:41,840 Speaker 7: don't know. I know. 234 00:14:41,960 --> 00:14:45,040 Speaker 2: I mean because because the man's because the man's a joke. 235 00:14:45,280 --> 00:14:50,400 Speaker 2: Thanks everybody, guys are the best, all right, Representative Tom Emmer, 236 00:14:50,760 --> 00:14:53,400 Speaker 2: let's start off. We're going to talk to the Save 237 00:14:53,480 --> 00:14:56,520 Speaker 2: America Act coming up in the next segment. I have 238 00:14:56,560 --> 00:15:01,400 Speaker 2: a plethora of clips from a that took place yesterday, 239 00:15:01,520 --> 00:15:06,000 Speaker 2: the Democrats continuing to fall all over themselves attempting to 240 00:15:06,120 --> 00:15:10,760 Speaker 2: explain why they are against the majority of Americans who 241 00:15:10,760 --> 00:15:14,920 Speaker 2: want to see election integrity, proof of citizenship, and IDs 242 00:15:15,240 --> 00:15:19,360 Speaker 2: to vote. What is your prediction today moving forward with 243 00:15:19,600 --> 00:15:23,320 Speaker 2: your colleagues in on the Senate side of things, Representative 244 00:15:23,320 --> 00:15:24,160 Speaker 2: Tom Emmer. 245 00:15:24,800 --> 00:15:29,360 Speaker 7: Well, I'm very frustrated this nonsense. It seems to be 246 00:15:29,480 --> 00:15:33,520 Speaker 7: just a show. There are some serious champions over there. 247 00:15:33,640 --> 00:15:37,800 Speaker 7: Eric Schmidt from Missouri is real, Mike Lee is real. 248 00:15:38,680 --> 00:15:41,280 Speaker 7: You can go through a bunch of these guys who firmly. 249 00:15:40,960 --> 00:15:42,560 Speaker 9: Believe it, but then you've got a couple of. 250 00:15:42,480 --> 00:15:44,400 Speaker 7: Senators who aren't supporting it. 251 00:15:44,920 --> 00:15:45,280 Speaker 1: Why. 252 00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:51,000 Speaker 7: What is wrong with the requirement that somebody proved that 253 00:15:51,040 --> 00:15:54,160 Speaker 7: they are a citizen to register to vote, and someone 254 00:15:54,240 --> 00:15:56,880 Speaker 7: that actually proved they are the citizen that they say 255 00:15:56,920 --> 00:15:58,720 Speaker 7: they are when they go to past the vote that's 256 00:15:58,720 --> 00:16:03,520 Speaker 7: what our law required. John, And unfortunately, I've gotten very 257 00:16:03,600 --> 00:16:06,560 Speaker 7: tired of the US Senate. I know that people are 258 00:16:06,640 --> 00:16:12,560 Speaker 7: supposed to respect the institution. I certainly respect the institution. 259 00:16:12,680 --> 00:16:15,320 Speaker 7: But you know what, the ghost of Mitch McConnell lives on. 260 00:16:15,880 --> 00:16:21,240 Speaker 7: Mitch McConnell served as the Senate. He should probably have 261 00:16:21,280 --> 00:16:22,400 Speaker 7: called it quits by now. 262 00:16:22,640 --> 00:16:25,320 Speaker 1: The world is passed and by this is in. 263 00:16:25,280 --> 00:16:28,880 Speaker 7: Inane rule, and you don't have Republicans and Democrats over there, 264 00:16:28,920 --> 00:16:32,920 Speaker 7: you just have Senators. So the darn thing better pass 265 00:16:33,640 --> 00:16:36,080 Speaker 7: because the President is waiting to sign it into law. 266 00:16:36,200 --> 00:16:37,479 Speaker 1: It is very important. 267 00:16:37,840 --> 00:16:42,320 Speaker 7: If people can't trust their elections, John, then what's the point. 268 00:16:42,640 --> 00:16:46,560 Speaker 7: So this is a very simple I bill, the Save 269 00:16:46,800 --> 00:16:50,640 Speaker 7: America Act. Chuck Schumer, what adult this guy is? Boy, 270 00:16:50,720 --> 00:16:55,960 Speaker 7: we make fun of our loser, Governor Chuck Schumer. This 271 00:16:56,040 --> 00:16:59,720 Speaker 7: guy is trying to make an argument that somehow requiring 272 00:16:59,760 --> 00:17:04,520 Speaker 7: people to show a photo ID is a voter suppression. 273 00:17:04,560 --> 00:17:07,119 Speaker 7: How does that work, John, I guess it's voter suppression 274 00:17:07,119 --> 00:17:09,159 Speaker 7: if you want illegals voting in the election. 275 00:17:09,320 --> 00:17:10,280 Speaker 10: Yeah. 276 00:17:10,320 --> 00:17:13,080 Speaker 2: Well, and you know my fear is you have a 277 00:17:13,119 --> 00:17:16,320 Speaker 2: lot writing on this right now? I continue to say 278 00:17:16,359 --> 00:17:18,439 Speaker 2: on the show talking to the Representative Tom Emmer that 279 00:17:19,080 --> 00:17:24,439 Speaker 2: with a successful Operation Epic Fury mission, which overwhelmingly the 280 00:17:24,480 --> 00:17:30,120 Speaker 2: polling numbers, even from CNN's analyst, overwhelmingly you have Republicans 281 00:17:30,160 --> 00:17:32,520 Speaker 2: in support of what's taking place with the military action 282 00:17:32,600 --> 00:17:35,879 Speaker 2: against Iran, we successfully complete that mission and get the 283 00:17:35,920 --> 00:17:39,399 Speaker 2: Save Act passed, and we have the perfect recipe to 284 00:17:39,520 --> 00:17:42,560 Speaker 2: drive voters out later on this year. If we don't 285 00:17:42,600 --> 00:17:46,480 Speaker 2: pass the Save America Act, I'm fearful that many Republicans 286 00:17:46,480 --> 00:17:49,880 Speaker 2: are going to feel disenfranchised by their own party and 287 00:17:49,920 --> 00:17:51,919 Speaker 2: not be motivated to go and vote. That's where my 288 00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:55,800 Speaker 2: concern is at the moment, even beyond we needing, you know, 289 00:17:55,840 --> 00:17:58,320 Speaker 2: our needing the Save America Act to shore up our 290 00:17:58,359 --> 00:17:59,240 Speaker 2: election integrity. 291 00:17:59,240 --> 00:18:00,880 Speaker 1: Tom, Yeah, I. 292 00:18:00,800 --> 00:18:06,040 Speaker 7: Mean, let's just talk about Minnesota, right, Minnesota where illegals 293 00:18:06,119 --> 00:18:10,720 Speaker 7: have driver's licenses, banks to Tim Walls and these psychotic Democrats, 294 00:18:11,240 --> 00:18:14,000 Speaker 7: and you can vouch for up to eight people at 295 00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:16,960 Speaker 7: a time in a precinct. They don't have to show anything. 296 00:18:17,520 --> 00:18:20,280 Speaker 7: By the way, it'd be really nice to know, Steve Simon, 297 00:18:20,359 --> 00:18:25,359 Speaker 7: how many voter registration mailings come back after the election 298 00:18:25,600 --> 00:18:29,760 Speaker 7: because these people don't have real addresses when you're signing 299 00:18:29,800 --> 00:18:35,199 Speaker 7: them up, John, to your point, I keep trying to 300 00:18:35,240 --> 00:18:37,919 Speaker 7: explain to people here that yes, we have done our 301 00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:40,479 Speaker 7: job in the House, but it's not enough. I mean, 302 00:18:40,520 --> 00:18:44,280 Speaker 7: I go home, we're in the invention process, and you know, 303 00:18:44,680 --> 00:18:49,160 Speaker 7: I can follow Republicans at home, people that care about 304 00:18:49,200 --> 00:18:53,280 Speaker 7: this country and are showing up to the process. I 305 00:18:53,280 --> 00:18:55,080 Speaker 7: could tell them I did my job, but then they 306 00:18:55,080 --> 00:18:58,560 Speaker 7: are very upset because the job's not done, and we 307 00:18:58,680 --> 00:19:00,760 Speaker 7: all have a response to they to make sure it 308 00:19:00,800 --> 00:19:03,240 Speaker 7: gets done. So that's why you've heard me kind of 309 00:19:03,320 --> 00:19:06,840 Speaker 7: change my approach with it. I know that our speaker 310 00:19:06,920 --> 00:19:09,200 Speaker 7: doesn't want to pit the House and the Senate against. 311 00:19:08,920 --> 00:19:10,760 Speaker 1: Each other, but you know what, why. 312 00:19:10,560 --> 00:19:15,440 Speaker 7: Should we in the House have to take the consequences 313 00:19:15,760 --> 00:19:17,840 Speaker 7: caused a less Senate. 314 00:19:18,200 --> 00:19:20,760 Speaker 1: It will not get the job done. I mean, they 315 00:19:20,840 --> 00:19:22,000 Speaker 1: need to get this one done. 316 00:19:22,080 --> 00:19:25,240 Speaker 7: Because to your point, John, I think the people who 317 00:19:25,320 --> 00:19:28,040 Speaker 7: voted seventy seven million people who voted for Donald J. 318 00:19:28,160 --> 00:19:32,160 Speaker 7: Trump and the last presidential election and elected majorities Republican 319 00:19:32,280 --> 00:19:35,119 Speaker 7: majorities in the US House of Representatives in the US Senate, 320 00:19:35,400 --> 00:19:38,520 Speaker 7: this is what they expect. And if you think you 321 00:19:38,560 --> 00:19:42,880 Speaker 7: are going to continue to mislead them or content you're 322 00:19:42,920 --> 00:19:45,480 Speaker 7: doing your job. When it's not getting done, you will 323 00:19:45,520 --> 00:19:49,200 Speaker 7: face the consequences. I'm afraid in the midterm. 324 00:19:49,200 --> 00:19:50,520 Speaker 1: Your phone's breaking up a little bit. 325 00:19:50,520 --> 00:19:52,639 Speaker 2: I just have one more quick question for your Representative 326 00:19:52,680 --> 00:19:56,760 Speaker 2: Tom Emmer. I know you, along with your Senate colleague 327 00:19:56,800 --> 00:19:58,960 Speaker 2: Eric Schmidt, we talked about this a bit last week 328 00:19:59,320 --> 00:20:01,600 Speaker 2: had introduced the Scam Act. I was just curious if 329 00:20:01,600 --> 00:20:04,040 Speaker 2: you can give us an update on where the Scam 330 00:20:04,119 --> 00:20:06,800 Speaker 2: Act is and the quick version of what this would do. 331 00:20:08,440 --> 00:20:10,760 Speaker 7: Well, the quick version of what it would do is 332 00:20:11,320 --> 00:20:15,040 Speaker 7: right now, You've got somebody who comes to this country, 333 00:20:15,240 --> 00:20:18,800 Speaker 7: wants to be an American citizen, they become naturalized, and 334 00:20:18,880 --> 00:20:22,399 Speaker 7: all of a sudden, like you've got Minnesota, you have 335 00:20:22,560 --> 00:20:26,440 Speaker 7: them committing fraud, taking advantage of the generosity of Americans, 336 00:20:26,680 --> 00:20:30,080 Speaker 7: and with no intention to assimilate and create their own 337 00:20:30,119 --> 00:20:35,480 Speaker 7: American story. Instead, they'd rather reinvent American to fit their 338 00:20:35,600 --> 00:20:38,680 Speaker 7: chaotic whatever. 339 00:20:38,400 --> 00:20:39,159 Speaker 1: Purpose they have. 340 00:20:39,960 --> 00:20:45,359 Speaker 7: John, if you are guilty of working with a patient, 341 00:20:45,880 --> 00:20:50,040 Speaker 7: if you commit an aggravated felony, if you're ripping off 342 00:20:50,119 --> 00:20:54,680 Speaker 7: the generosity of Americans within ten years of being naturalized, 343 00:20:54,720 --> 00:20:57,280 Speaker 7: we should be able to denaturalize you and ship you 344 00:20:57,359 --> 00:20:59,480 Speaker 7: back to the country that you came from. And for 345 00:20:59,480 --> 00:21:03,440 Speaker 7: anybody who who's listening, marriage fraud is already in the 346 00:21:03,720 --> 00:21:07,919 Speaker 7: federal code. If you commit marriage fraud has been an 347 00:21:07,960 --> 00:21:11,240 Speaker 7: allegation for years for someone in Minnesota, if you commit 348 00:21:11,520 --> 00:21:16,400 Speaker 7: marriage fraud, that is already grounds for denaturalization and shipping 349 00:21:16,440 --> 00:21:19,920 Speaker 7: someone back to Somalia. So all we're doing is trying 350 00:21:19,960 --> 00:21:23,400 Speaker 7: to make the law stronger, trying to make it more responsible. 351 00:21:23,440 --> 00:21:27,040 Speaker 7: And I'll tell you what conversations with Senator Schmidt, we 352 00:21:27,119 --> 00:21:30,560 Speaker 7: think this is just as important as the Save America Act. 353 00:21:30,640 --> 00:21:34,960 Speaker 7: So as we get the Save America Act hopefully done, 354 00:21:35,080 --> 00:21:38,720 Speaker 7: this one, the Scam Act needs to be attached to 355 00:21:38,840 --> 00:21:42,960 Speaker 7: the next must pass piece of legislation because it just 356 00:21:43,400 --> 00:21:47,600 Speaker 7: right now the hill is too high to climb when 357 00:21:47,760 --> 00:21:50,800 Speaker 7: you need to get rid of these Somali fraudsters. And 358 00:21:50,840 --> 00:21:54,320 Speaker 7: you know that ilhan Omar likes to taunt the presidents say, well, 359 00:21:54,359 --> 00:21:57,199 Speaker 7: we're citizens, we're not going anywhere. Well, you know what, 360 00:21:57,600 --> 00:22:00,439 Speaker 7: you should be shipped back to your country of origin 361 00:22:00,880 --> 00:22:03,400 Speaker 7: when you do not want to assimilate and you rip 362 00:22:03,520 --> 00:22:06,280 Speaker 7: off a generous American's bottom line. 363 00:22:06,440 --> 00:22:08,760 Speaker 2: Representative Tom Emmer.

Okay, So let me get to the 405 00:24:36,320 --> 00:24:39,160 Speaker 2: rest of the comment from the Friend of the show. 406 00:24:40,600 --> 00:24:43,720 Speaker 12: Back in two thousand and five when he's Minnesota House 407 00:24:43,760 --> 00:24:48,240 Speaker 12: representative up in Saint Cloud, the people did not want 408 00:24:48,240 --> 00:24:52,359 Speaker 12: all those somonions coming in there, and he advocated for 409 00:24:52,440 --> 00:24:55,920 Speaker 12: them coming in there, and he was in a position 410 00:24:56,040 --> 00:25:00,920 Speaker 12: then to challenge all that to the governor, but he didn't. 411 00:25:01,400 --> 00:25:02,440 Speaker 1: He promoted it. 412 00:25:02,600 --> 00:25:04,600 Speaker 2: Why okay, So let me go back to the initial 413 00:25:04,640 --> 00:25:07,880 Speaker 2: part of it. And this is my friendly advice instead 414 00:25:07,920 --> 00:25:12,800 Speaker 2: of framing this as a threat like the beginning of 415 00:25:12,840 --> 00:25:15,120 Speaker 2: the talk back, dude, you're going to have. 416 00:25:15,080 --> 00:25:18,479 Speaker 12: Tom Amber on this morning, I'll give you another chance 417 00:25:18,600 --> 00:25:20,359 Speaker 12: to confront him. 418 00:25:21,000 --> 00:25:22,159 Speaker 1: Maybe try this route. 419 00:25:23,080 --> 00:25:26,879 Speaker 2: Hey, John, have you talked with Representative Tom Emmer about 420 00:25:26,960 --> 00:25:31,440 Speaker 2: this issue? I would be curious because of ABC and 421 00:25:31,520 --> 00:25:34,000 Speaker 2: D The reason being is that I addressed that with 422 00:25:34,080 --> 00:25:36,399 Speaker 2: Tom like well over a month ago when the story 423 00:25:36,440 --> 00:25:39,280 Speaker 2: first erupted in the wake of all of the focus 424 00:25:39,400 --> 00:25:42,200 Speaker 2: on fraud. I do not want to put words into 425 00:25:42,280 --> 00:25:45,760 Speaker 2: Tom's mouth over his explanation. I would encourage you to 426 00:25:45,800 --> 00:25:49,720 Speaker 2: go back through the podcast available up on the iHeartRadio app. 427 00:25:49,760 --> 00:25:51,680 Speaker 2: I simply haven't had time this morning in the midst 428 00:25:51,760 --> 00:25:55,439 Speaker 2: of doing the show to do that. I do know 429 00:25:55,720 --> 00:25:58,800 Speaker 2: that part of what he had to say was going 430 00:25:58,840 --> 00:26:02,560 Speaker 2: back well over a decade, was it was a much 431 00:26:02,680 --> 00:26:09,960 Speaker 2: different time and you have legitimately individuals who do immigrate 432 00:26:10,280 --> 00:26:13,520 Speaker 2: to the country from places all over the world, and 433 00:26:13,640 --> 00:26:19,720 Speaker 2: there are groups and caucuses that exist regarding those individuals 434 00:26:19,800 --> 00:26:25,840 Speaker 2: from places again all over the world, including Somalia. Now 435 00:26:25,880 --> 00:26:27,840 Speaker 2: beyond that, again, I don't want to go and put 436 00:26:27,880 --> 00:26:33,080 Speaker 2: words into Representative Tom Emmer's mouth. But again we did 437 00:26:33,080 --> 00:26:35,199 Speaker 2: address this going back a while ago. So when you 438 00:26:36,160 --> 00:26:38,600 Speaker 2: are going to leave a talk back, I would just suggest, hey, John, 439 00:26:39,280 --> 00:26:41,520 Speaker 2: have you asked this? Ask it us a question as 440 00:26:41,520 --> 00:26:42,359 Speaker 2: opposed to a threat. 441 00:26:43,840 --> 00:26:44,840 Speaker 1: What's the whole thing? 442 00:26:44,960 --> 00:26:45,159 Speaker 6: You know? 443 00:26:45,440 --> 00:26:51,760 Speaker 2: Flies, honey, vinegar, attracting and said, how some of that works? 444 00:26:53,640 --> 00:26:57,040 Speaker 2: Maybe I should stick with buffaloes and instead of insects. 445 00:26:57,880 --> 00:27:00,960 Speaker 9: Good morning, John, Maybe this is the a topic. But 446 00:27:01,520 --> 00:27:05,240 Speaker 9: buffalo fluffalo? What would be a good title for a 447 00:27:05,280 --> 00:27:10,040 Speaker 9: book about Governor Walls? Maybe a parody like Curious George 448 00:27:10,119 --> 00:27:16,760 Speaker 9: tries to govern a state? Any suggestions, And. 449 00:27:16,520 --> 00:27:20,880 Speaker 8: That's how the story a fluffalo and with a happy 450 00:27:20,920 --> 00:27:25,560 Speaker 8: old buffalo snuggling his brands. 451 00:27:27,320 --> 00:27:30,720 Speaker 13: That's how the story of the buffalo ans with the 452 00:27:30,800 --> 00:27:35,840 Speaker 13: Minnesota governor committing fraud with his friends. 453 00:27:38,800 --> 00:27:43,760 Speaker 14: Okay, why does it sound like Tim Walls has a 454 00:27:44,000 --> 00:27:47,480 Speaker 14: mouthful of saliva every time he talks. It's like it's 455 00:27:47,520 --> 00:27:51,560 Speaker 14: in his jowels, and every word is getting through this 456 00:27:51,840 --> 00:27:53,679 Speaker 14: just cessful slive in his mouth? Am I the only 457 00:27:53,760 --> 00:27:57,160 Speaker 14: one that hears this? It's almost worse than his as 458 00:27:57,320 --> 00:28:00,480 Speaker 14: nine politics and views. I can't say I'm the guy. 459 00:28:00,920 --> 00:28:03,280 Speaker 14: And every time he talks, I just get fixated on how 460 00:28:03,320 --> 00:28:05,280 Speaker 14: much that anoys the crap out of me. 461 00:28:05,520 --> 00:28:08,200 Speaker 8: And all the creatures from the bats to the bugs, 462 00:28:08,240 --> 00:28:10,359 Speaker 8: covered old fluff with kisses and hugs. 463 00:28:13,720 --> 00:28:18,960 Speaker 2: Bill Walsh, Center of the American Experiment Rights in this piece. 464 00:28:19,040 --> 00:28:23,040 Speaker 2: Minnesota Secretary of State Steve Simon pushed hard during the 465 00:28:23,080 --> 00:28:26,520 Speaker 2: twenty twenty three session to pass automatic voter registration. This 466 00:28:26,680 --> 00:28:32,080 Speaker 2: replaced the opt in checkbox previously in law. The new 467 00:28:32,160 --> 00:28:34,560 Speaker 2: law was in place for the twenty four to twenty 468 00:28:34,560 --> 00:28:38,400 Speaker 2: five elections, and it automatically added any one to the 469 00:28:38,480 --> 00:28:43,160 Speaker 2: voter role or updated their information who came in contact 470 00:28:43,200 --> 00:28:46,760 Speaker 2: with state government. So most automatic voter registrations are the 471 00:28:46,760 --> 00:28:51,000 Speaker 2: result of driver's license changes, but registrations also come from 472 00:28:51,040 --> 00:28:56,120 Speaker 2: applications for Minnesota Care and any application for benefits or 473 00:28:56,160 --> 00:29:00,800 Speaker 2: services from a state agency. If you change your driver's 474 00:29:00,840 --> 00:29:03,959 Speaker 2: license or apply for welfare, the state is going to 475 00:29:04,080 --> 00:29:08,560 Speaker 2: register you to vote at your new address. Now when 476 00:29:08,600 --> 00:29:13,640 Speaker 2: this was passed, Secretary of State Signmon testified during a 477 00:29:13,680 --> 00:29:16,680 Speaker 2: House Elections committee in favor of the bill. He told 478 00:29:16,680 --> 00:29:19,000 Speaker 2: the committee, doing nothing with my fingers. If you have 479 00:29:19,200 --> 00:29:25,800 Speaker 2: misgivings about same day voter registration, this bill is for you, 480 00:29:27,880 --> 00:29:31,960 Speaker 2: since it would probably cut eighty to ninety percent of 481 00:29:32,040 --> 00:29:36,200 Speaker 2: same day voter registrations. Okay, And as Walsh says in 482 00:29:36,280 --> 00:29:38,520 Speaker 2: his peace, it's a bold claim, but it made sense. 483 00:29:39,720 --> 00:29:44,720 Speaker 2: Assuming most same day registrations occur when people move from 484 00:29:44,880 --> 00:29:48,840 Speaker 2: one precinct to another within the state of Minnesota. Handling 485 00:29:48,920 --> 00:29:51,080 Speaker 2: that on the back end between the Department of Public 486 00:29:51,120 --> 00:29:56,360 Speaker 2: Safety and the Secretary of State's office should should eliminate 487 00:29:56,400 --> 00:29:59,680 Speaker 2: the need for most voters to register on election day 488 00:29:59,680 --> 00:30:03,320 Speaker 2: in their ne precinct. Okay, Now that we've had our 489 00:30:03,360 --> 00:30:08,040 Speaker 2: first two elections with this automatic voter registration, was Simon's 490 00:30:08,160 --> 00:30:09,440 Speaker 2: estimate correct. 491 00:30:10,120 --> 00:30:11,320 Speaker 1: It wasn't even close. 492 00:30:13,960 --> 00:30:16,600 Speaker 2: He said that these would plummet, and they've actually gone up, 493 00:30:16,640 --> 00:30:19,200 Speaker 2: and it's important to find out why. 494 00:30:19,560 --> 00:30:19,640 Speaker 9: So. 495 00:30:19,760 --> 00:30:24,040 Speaker 2: According to data from Simon's own office, election day registration 496 00:30:24,160 --> 00:30:26,800 Speaker 2: increased from five point six percent in twenty twenty two 497 00:30:28,200 --> 00:30:30,880 Speaker 2: to nine point one percent in twenty twenty four, That 498 00:30:30,960 --> 00:30:35,000 Speaker 2: is a forty percent increase. Automatic voter registration had no 499 00:30:35,160 --> 00:30:39,480 Speaker 2: impact at all on election day registration over the last 500 00:30:39,560 --> 00:30:45,200 Speaker 2: five statewide elections. Secretary Simon provided an update on automatic 501 00:30:45,280 --> 00:30:48,440 Speaker 2: voter registration on September twelfth of twenty twenty four. 502 00:30:49,200 --> 00:30:51,200 Speaker 1: So we're going to get into some numbers here. Hang 503 00:30:51,280 --> 00:30:53,040 Speaker 1: with me now. 504 00:30:53,040 --> 00:30:55,840 Speaker 2: At that time, he reported that sixty five, three hundred 505 00:30:55,840 --> 00:30:59,920 Speaker 2: and thirty nine Minnesotans had been successfully registered to vote 506 00:31:00,000 --> 00:31:03,880 Speaker 2: through the state's new system, but a few months later, 507 00:31:05,520 --> 00:31:10,280 Speaker 2: three hundred and twenty seven thousand plus voters still needed 508 00:31:10,320 --> 00:31:16,000 Speaker 2: to register on election day. The question is why the 509 00:31:16,120 --> 00:31:19,960 Speaker 2: three hundred and twenty five thousand plus voters move right 510 00:31:19,960 --> 00:31:23,920 Speaker 2: before the election? That seems unlikely. Are they college students 511 00:31:23,960 --> 00:31:26,560 Speaker 2: who come and go each semester. That's part of it, 512 00:31:26,600 --> 00:31:29,240 Speaker 2: but that's not the whole story. Many of the precincts 513 00:31:29,360 --> 00:31:35,000 Speaker 2: represent college campuses across the state. Same day registrations in 514 00:31:35,040 --> 00:31:38,400 Speaker 2: those precincts only accounted for some sixteen thousand of the 515 00:31:38,440 --> 00:31:41,920 Speaker 2: three hundred and twenty seven thousand election day registration state wide. 516 00:31:42,920 --> 00:31:49,520 Speaker 2: It's only five percent. Minneapolis was also consistently higher as well. 517 00:31:49,600 --> 00:31:54,520 Speaker 2: Now Bill Walsh in this American Experiment dot Org. Piece 518 00:31:54,600 --> 00:31:57,320 Speaker 2: goes on to some further other details and numbers, but 519 00:31:57,400 --> 00:32:00,400 Speaker 2: he lands on this. The deeper that we went with 520 00:32:00,520 --> 00:32:06,960 Speaker 2: the research, the more questions arose. Several precincts deserve more scrutiny. 521 00:32:07,360 --> 00:32:12,640 Speaker 2: In Minneapolis Precincts four through nine, those reports show more 522 00:32:12,760 --> 00:32:17,640 Speaker 2: election day registrations than voters. Now Bill says, it's probably 523 00:32:17,680 --> 00:32:20,600 Speaker 2: a mistake, at least I hope it is. The data 524 00:32:20,640 --> 00:32:23,720 Speaker 2: says that two hundred and twenty five registered to vote, 525 00:32:23,960 --> 00:32:28,480 Speaker 2: but only eighty three people actually went and voted in 526 00:32:28,560 --> 00:32:32,520 Speaker 2: Minneapolis Precincts two through four, which is the U of 527 00:32:32,600 --> 00:32:36,080 Speaker 2: M Precinct three hundred and eighteen out of the three 528 00:32:36,200 --> 00:32:39,360 Speaker 2: hundred and twenty two election day votes were the result 529 00:32:39,440 --> 00:32:43,600 Speaker 2: of election day registrations. So that means that only four 530 00:32:43,720 --> 00:32:47,600 Speaker 2: voters walked in, found their name already on the voter roll, 531 00:32:48,280 --> 00:32:52,560 Speaker 2: requested a ballot, and voted. And I concur with what 532 00:32:52,680 --> 00:32:57,160 Speaker 2: Bill Walsh writes in his piece. That seems incredible. Several 533 00:32:57,200 --> 00:33:01,120 Speaker 2: other precincts fit the pattern of almost one hundred percent 534 00:33:01,200 --> 00:33:05,000 Speaker 2: turnover from election to election. Are there precincts on college 535 00:33:05,040 --> 00:33:08,280 Speaker 2: campuses with no permanent housing? Do any students stay in 536 00:33:08,320 --> 00:33:11,840 Speaker 2: the same residence for more than a year. Now, as 537 00:33:11,840 --> 00:33:15,320 Speaker 2: Bill writes in the piece, it doesn't necessarily show specifically 538 00:33:15,720 --> 00:33:20,640 Speaker 2: voter fraud, but it does tell us where to investigate further. 539 00:33:21,760 --> 00:33:24,080 Speaker 2: American Experiment is going to continue to look into this. 540 00:33:25,480 --> 00:33:28,800 Speaker 2: He ends with the next time the Secretary Simon appears 541 00:33:28,840 --> 00:33:32,200 Speaker 2: at a legislative hearing, somebody should probably ask him why 542 00:33:32,200 --> 00:33:38,080 Speaker 2: his prediction didn't come true. As if you needed further 543 00:33:38,520 --> 00:33:43,480 Speaker 2: examples of shoring up our election integrity, whether it's here 544 00:33:43,600 --> 00:33:47,960 Speaker 2: in Minnesota, whether it's with the Save Act, which we're 545 00:33:48,080 --> 00:33:51,640 Speaker 2: going to get into in just a moment, have a 546 00:33:51,680 --> 00:33:56,240 Speaker 2: couple of different clips. But right now, the Democrat Party 547 00:33:56,280 --> 00:33:58,560 Speaker 2: is doing everything they can to convince the broken and 548 00:33:58,600 --> 00:34:04,720 Speaker 2: brainwashed of why the Save America Act, specifically it's so horrible, heinous, 549 00:34:04,720 --> 00:34:09,600 Speaker 2: and awful. And even then it still isn't landing with 550 00:34:09,640 --> 00:34:16,720 Speaker 2: the American public because overwhelmingly, regardless of party, voters want 551 00:34:17,560 --> 00:34:21,200 Speaker 2: individuals living here legally to be the only ones able 552 00:34:21,280 --> 00:34:26,399 Speaker 2: to go and vote. It speaks to the desperation that 553 00:34:26,440 --> 00:34:31,160 Speaker 2: the elected Democrats have, knowing full well exactly what will 554 00:34:31,200 --> 00:34:34,680 Speaker 2: happen if the Save America Act passes as a matter 555 00:34:34,680 --> 00:34:36,880 Speaker 2: of fact, they're not even hiding it during any of 556 00:34:36,920 --> 00:34:43,120 Speaker 2: these debates. I have a clip from Amy Klobishar. I'll 557 00:34:43,120 --> 00:34:45,320 Speaker 2: get to this in just a moment, but let me 558 00:34:45,360 --> 00:34:48,600 Speaker 2: share with you a few of these Democrats are so desperate, 559 00:34:49,400 --> 00:34:51,719 Speaker 2: so they're trying to claim the student IDs won't be 560 00:34:51,880 --> 00:34:55,280 Speaker 2: enough under the Save America Act to vote, and why 561 00:34:55,360 --> 00:35:00,160 Speaker 2: would they be. These are not government issued IDs, so 562 00:35:00,239 --> 00:35:04,879 Speaker 2: they shouldn't be. Democrats know that the Save America Act 563 00:35:04,920 --> 00:35:08,600 Speaker 2: passes that there's a lot of people that aren't legally 564 00:35:08,680 --> 00:35:10,600 Speaker 2: eligible to vote that won't be able to vote, which 565 00:35:10,640 --> 00:35:13,520 Speaker 2: is going to hinder their chances to win elections moving forward. 566 00:35:13,560 --> 00:35:16,520 Speaker 2: Which is why there's such a discrepancy between what the 567 00:35:16,560 --> 00:35:19,680 Speaker 2: public actually believes over this and what Democrats, who are 568 00:35:19,719 --> 00:35:22,279 Speaker 2: sitting in an elected position of power are doing to 569 00:35:22,320 --> 00:35:24,960 Speaker 2: push back on this. They are willing to go and 570 00:35:25,080 --> 00:35:28,080 Speaker 2: continue to vote against the Save America Act even though 571 00:35:28,120 --> 00:35:30,799 Speaker 2: people within their own party want to go and see this. 572 00:35:31,280 --> 00:35:32,520 Speaker 1: That is not the half of it. 573 00:35:33,200 --> 00:35:36,840 Speaker 15: Just consider all the people who will face new challenges 574 00:35:37,040 --> 00:35:41,080 Speaker 15: just to vote for no good reason. If you are 575 00:35:41,160 --> 00:35:45,399 Speaker 15: a student who just moved to start college, Republicans will 576 00:35:45,400 --> 00:35:48,680 Speaker 15: make it harder for you to vote, because if this 577 00:35:48,760 --> 00:35:51,760 Speaker 15: bill passes, you will need to show a photo ID 578 00:35:52,320 --> 00:35:56,640 Speaker 15: and proof of citizenship in every single state, but a 579 00:35:56,680 --> 00:36:01,400 Speaker 15: student ID won't count. Many tribal ideas also won't be 580 00:36:01,520 --> 00:36:04,319 Speaker 15: enough under the new Republican restrictions. 581 00:36:04,000 --> 00:36:05,160 Speaker 1: And they shouldn't be. 582 00:36:07,760 --> 00:36:10,839 Speaker 2: Boyd The definition of harder for Democrats is such a 583 00:36:10,880 --> 00:36:20,160 Speaker 2: moving target. It's only hard in their minds if it's 584 00:36:20,200 --> 00:36:22,919 Speaker 2: going to potentially have an impact on them electorally. 585 00:36:22,960 --> 00:36:23,399 Speaker 1: That's it. 586 00:36:23,880 --> 00:36:28,120 Speaker 2: Otherwise Democrats will fight against all kinds of frivolous nonsense. 587 00:36:31,000 --> 00:36:32,320 Speaker 2: Let's get to a few of your thoughts from the 588 00:36:32,360 --> 00:36:36,000 Speaker 2: iHeartRadio Apple gets more of your clips here regarding Senate 589 00:36:36,040 --> 00:36:41,400 Speaker 2: Democrats yesterday ahead of today's vote pushing back against the 590 00:36:41,440 --> 00:36:42,359 Speaker 2: Save America Act. 591 00:36:45,440 --> 00:36:48,920 Speaker 4: Hey, John, I honestly can't understand the voters of the state. 592 00:36:49,040 --> 00:36:53,080 Speaker 4: We keep electing these one trick ponies. All they know 593 00:36:53,160 --> 00:36:58,560 Speaker 4: how to do is take, take, take, and listen. 594 00:36:58,600 --> 00:37:00,680 Speaker 2: The top pack went on to say, why is it 595 00:37:00,719 --> 00:37:04,760 Speaker 2: people keep voting for these individuals and Republicans keep losing. 596 00:37:04,800 --> 00:37:06,440 Speaker 2: And I just want to take a moment to remind 597 00:37:06,480 --> 00:37:11,200 Speaker 2: everybody these elections are close. The House in the legislature 598 00:37:11,320 --> 00:37:19,440 Speaker 2: is divided fifty to fifty Senate dflers only have a 599 00:37:19,480 --> 00:37:22,120 Speaker 2: couple of votes to get stuff passed. It's just a 600 00:37:22,160 --> 00:37:25,040 Speaker 2: matter of going and increasing the number of Republicans getting 601 00:37:25,080 --> 00:37:28,080 Speaker 2: out to vote, and Republicans can win elections. If these 602 00:37:28,120 --> 00:37:32,000 Speaker 2: were blowouts, then I would lean harder into why is 603 00:37:32,040 --> 00:37:35,239 Speaker 2: it that does this keeps happening? But the truth of 604 00:37:35,280 --> 00:37:37,840 Speaker 2: the matter is we are a largely split down the 605 00:37:37,880 --> 00:37:43,080 Speaker 2: middle state with Democrats being the ones who just barely 606 00:37:43,320 --> 00:37:50,279 Speaker 2: best Republicans in our elections. And again, I'll take it 607 00:37:50,360 --> 00:37:52,840 Speaker 2: full circle going back to the story that we shared 608 00:37:52,880 --> 00:37:58,440 Speaker 2: about same day voter registration and the discrepancies relating to 609 00:37:58,520 --> 00:38:01,880 Speaker 2: Steve Simon saying that same day voter registrations with plummet 610 00:38:02,000 --> 00:38:04,879 Speaker 2: and the exact how opposite is happening. Again not an 611 00:38:04,920 --> 00:38:10,839 Speaker 2: example of the fraud, but certainly something that needs to. 612 00:38:10,800 --> 00:38:11,799 Speaker 1: Be looked at. 613 00:38:15,080 --> 00:38:19,000 Speaker 2: Amy Klobash, our Senator or small things. Apparently she's ran 614 00:38:19,040 --> 00:38:22,080 Speaker 2: out of arguments against the Save America Act because she's 615 00:38:22,120 --> 00:38:26,640 Speaker 2: back to evoking Elon Musk's name to attempt to go 616 00:38:26,800 --> 00:38:29,920 Speaker 2: in fearmonger the Save America Act. 617 00:38:29,920 --> 00:38:35,279 Speaker 15: Are their private voter data is sent to Homeland Security 618 00:38:35,320 --> 00:38:38,640 Speaker 15: to go through some Elon Musk design computer system. 619 00:38:39,239 --> 00:38:40,600 Speaker 1: It's not what people want in this. 620 00:38:40,560 --> 00:38:42,760 Speaker 2: Country right now, thank you, mister President. 621 00:38:42,760 --> 00:38:44,799 Speaker 1: I yod before Amy, Yes it is. 622 00:38:46,080 --> 00:38:49,720 Speaker 2: I'll take any Elon Musk designed to program over anything 623 00:38:49,760 --> 00:38:54,759 Speaker 2: that the government, you know, state or federal can go 624 00:38:54,920 --> 00:39:03,040 Speaker 2: and produce. They're so out of touch, Amy Klobashar. That alone, 625 00:39:03,120 --> 00:39:06,279 Speaker 2: right there was enough of an example of just how 626 00:39:06,560 --> 00:39:11,040 Speaker 2: out of touch Democrats are to some Elon Musk created program. 627 00:39:11,120 --> 00:39:12,359 Speaker 1: Yes, please give me more of that. 628 00:39:14,239 --> 00:39:17,279 Speaker 2: Democrat Peter Welch apparently thinks that you don't need to 629 00:39:17,280 --> 00:39:20,240 Speaker 2: be a resident of a state in order to vote 630 00:39:20,239 --> 00:39:23,279 Speaker 2: in its election during his pushback on the Save America Act. 631 00:39:23,480 --> 00:39:27,160 Speaker 3: The bill not only requires proof of citizenship, but also 632 00:39:27,360 --> 00:39:31,160 Speaker 3: proof of residence in order to register. This could block 633 00:39:31,520 --> 00:39:33,800 Speaker 3: even more voters from voting. 634 00:39:36,760 --> 00:39:39,480 Speaker 2: And you also have a send of Democrats admitting to 635 00:39:39,680 --> 00:39:43,799 Speaker 2: mass voter fraud in their opposition to the Save America Act. 636 00:39:43,840 --> 00:39:47,800 Speaker 2: This is a Senator Merkley had this to say yesterday. 637 00:39:48,600 --> 00:39:54,439 Speaker 16: This bill is about stopping groups from voting who tend 638 00:39:54,520 --> 00:39:59,680 Speaker 16: to vote for Democrats. This is again about rigging the 639 00:39:59,800 --> 00:40:01,040 Speaker 16: next the election. 640 00:40:01,280 --> 00:40:05,960 Speaker 2: Well, he's actually not wrong. You're right because Democrats assume 641 00:40:07,680 --> 00:40:10,359 Speaker 2: that illegal aliens are voting for Democrats, and so yes, 642 00:40:10,520 --> 00:40:13,839 Speaker 2: that would be a group that tends to go and 643 00:40:13,960 --> 00:40:15,600 Speaker 2: vote for Democrats. 644 00:40:15,680 --> 00:40:21,560 Speaker 1: I just appreciate the honesty. Thanks everybody.
