1
00:00:04,840 --> 00:00:09,119
Speaker 1: Power three, Twin City's News Talk Am eleven thirty and

2
00:00:09,119 --> 00:00:12,000
Speaker 1: one oh three five FM. During the press conference yesterday

3
00:00:14,160 --> 00:00:15,640
Speaker 1: by Governor Tim Wallas.

4
00:00:15,360 --> 00:00:18,959
Speaker 2: Expect for the next eleven months for me to ride

5
00:00:19,040 --> 00:00:23,239
Speaker 2: you like you've never been ridden. Republicans want to tell

6
00:00:23,280 --> 00:00:26,280
Speaker 2: you it's too dangerous to walk down the streets. Republicans

7
00:00:26,320 --> 00:00:28,280
Speaker 2: want to tell you there's nothing good comes out of

8
00:00:28,280 --> 00:00:31,479
Speaker 2: Minneapolis Saint Paul. Republicans want to tell you everybody with

9
00:00:31,600 --> 00:00:34,680
Speaker 2: brown skin is stealing money or that they're not welcome here.

10
00:00:35,320 --> 00:00:39,120
Speaker 2: They want to do nothing to improve the state. Their

11
00:00:39,159 --> 00:00:42,600
Speaker 2: idea of improving the state is being a parrot for

12
00:00:42,720 --> 00:00:45,279
Speaker 2: Donald Trump. Agreed to everything that he agreed with. Well,

13
00:00:45,280 --> 00:00:48,440
Speaker 2: here's a there, what's called the Trump derangement problem.

14
00:00:48,479 --> 00:00:50,040
Speaker 3: Have you heard about that problem?

15
00:00:50,080 --> 00:00:54,960
Speaker 1: From Channel five? During the surprise announcement that Walls would

16
00:00:54,960 --> 00:00:58,000
Speaker 1: not seek reelection, he did a rattle awful list of

17
00:00:58,040 --> 00:01:01,200
Speaker 1: actions that he has taken to fight fraud, including the

18
00:01:01,240 --> 00:01:06,000
Speaker 1: claim that he's fired people into his administration. We fired

19
00:01:06,040 --> 00:01:09,520
Speaker 1: people who weren't doing their jobs, he said. Well, there

20
00:01:09,560 --> 00:01:13,480
Speaker 1: has been significant departures in the administration, but may have

21
00:01:13,600 --> 00:01:17,720
Speaker 1: been labeled as resignations or separations. It remains unclear who

22
00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:21,480
Speaker 1: actually has been fired. In twenty twenty two, you had

23
00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:25,200
Speaker 1: an Education commissioner didn't seek reappointment after Republicans called for

24
00:01:25,240 --> 00:01:28,920
Speaker 1: her resignation overfeeding our Future. The governor gave her a

25
00:01:28,959 --> 00:01:31,880
Speaker 1: glowing review on the way out anyway. A similar review

26
00:01:31,959 --> 00:01:36,560
Speaker 1: he gave to the former DHS Commissioner, Jody Harpstead. She

27
00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:39,679
Speaker 1: resigned in February. The latest departure came in September with

28
00:01:39,720 --> 00:01:43,959
Speaker 1: the assistant DHS commissioner who led the now defunct housing

29
00:01:43,959 --> 00:01:53,200
Speaker 1: stabilization program. It's internal, as the checks are cut, the

30
00:01:53,240 --> 00:01:57,960
Speaker 1: corruption is taking place. The personnel file of the assistant

31
00:01:58,040 --> 00:02:01,880
Speaker 1: DHS Commissioner, obtained by Channel five I've does not mention termination.

32
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:04,760
Speaker 1: The departure is described as separation. I know we're splitting

33
00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:08,160
Speaker 1: hairs on this, but Walls just continues to spew.

34
00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:09,320
Speaker 3: Lies like you heard in that clip.

35
00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:15,200
Speaker 1: After repeated requests for a list of people that Walls fired,

36
00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:18,840
Speaker 1: a spokesperson for the Governor's office responded late Tuesday, saying

37
00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:22,960
Speaker 1: that he's talked publicly about agency leadership he has replaced.

38
00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:27,760
Speaker 1: The Governor's office provided the statement saying we have new

39
00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:30,520
Speaker 1: commissioners at the Department of Human Services and the Department

40
00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:33,120
Speaker 1: of Education, as well as a new Inspector General and

41
00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:35,919
Speaker 1: a new Assistant Commissioner at the Department of Human Services.

42
00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:40,359
Speaker 3: So I understand why Walls reacts the way that he does.

43
00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:43,200
Speaker 1: I think most individuals and positions like that probably would.

44
00:02:43,919 --> 00:02:47,480
Speaker 1: He did mention how the buck does stop with him,

45
00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:51,240
Speaker 1: this is why he stepped down, But yet he deflects

46
00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:55,440
Speaker 1: and points elsewhere. That's not taking responsibility, especially when you

47
00:02:55,480 --> 00:02:58,799
Speaker 1: consider some of the moves that he's making are continuing

48
00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:02,600
Speaker 1: to hurt individuals that are actually doing what they're supposed

49
00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:04,519
Speaker 1: to do with the money that they've been given via

50
00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:10,600
Speaker 1: the taxpayers. On Fox News and the Will Caine Show yesterday,

51
00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:15,720
Speaker 1: Jennifer Larson of the Holland Center, she's the owner and CEO,

52
00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:18,920
Speaker 1: an autism care provider, is going to have to go

53
00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:23,840
Speaker 1: out of business now because of the fraud that's been

54
00:03:23,880 --> 00:03:28,240
Speaker 1: perpetuated and that Tim Walls has cut off the funds.

55
00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:31,080
Speaker 1: Here's what she had to say on Fox News yesterday.

56
00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:34,760
Speaker 4: To start up small clinics and care for their children

57
00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:36,480
Speaker 4: because I have a waiting list of five years and

58
00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:38,960
Speaker 4: I certainly can't take all their children. And I do

59
00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:43,040
Speaker 4: service quite a few small children, and at one point

60
00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:47,200
Speaker 4: we went and looked at a few of their clinics.

61
00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:50,280
Speaker 4: My staff did not me personally, and we decided we

62
00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:52,440
Speaker 4: didn't want to affiliate with them. And I got written

63
00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:55,880
Speaker 4: up in a blog as being racist. So anytime you

64
00:03:55,920 --> 00:03:58,760
Speaker 4: go out and you yes, that was years ago, that

65
00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:02,880
Speaker 4: was a few years ago. Anytime, it's a fear of

66
00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:06,640
Speaker 4: every Minnesotan. We are good, honest, hardworking people, and we

67
00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:09,640
Speaker 4: don't want to be called racist because we're not. I mean,

68
00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:11,840
Speaker 4: for the most for the most part, Minnesota is a beautiful,

69
00:04:11,880 --> 00:04:13,960
Speaker 4: wonderful place, and Minnesota nice.

70
00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:14,440
Speaker 1: Can be.

71
00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:19,719
Speaker 4: Is actually pretty accurate in that respect. But yeah, no,

72
00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:23,479
Speaker 4: it is a fear of Minnesotans that if you go

73
00:04:23,640 --> 00:04:26,400
Speaker 4: up against the Somalis, you're immediately racist.

74
00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:30,599
Speaker 5: And so therefore you have to tolerate fraud, which seems

75
00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:33,120
Speaker 5: to be at least at a minimum, the motivation for

76
00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:40,479
Speaker 5: many people involved from.

77
00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:41,520
Speaker 1: This is again part of the reasons why just add

78
00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:43,599
Speaker 1: it to the list of why I'm firmly of the

79
00:04:43,640 --> 00:04:46,200
Speaker 1: opinion the Walls ends up resigning before all of this

80
00:04:46,279 --> 00:04:50,599
Speaker 1: is said and done, doubling down yesterday during the press

81
00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:56,080
Speaker 1: conference regarding his support of migrants and what will be

82
00:04:56,640 --> 00:05:02,400
Speaker 1: a disastrous and fraud riddled paid family leave program.

83
00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:07,080
Speaker 2: This is one of the most transformational pieces of legislation

84
00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:10,200
Speaker 2: that Minnesota has passed in decades. Oh it is an

85
00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:13,960
Speaker 2: entire career would go by, a successful career with not

86
00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:17,520
Speaker 2: doing something like this. These two leaders made that happen.

87
00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:22,400
Speaker 3: And for me and the FOP from Minnesota's tank, we

88
00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:23,080
Speaker 3: have Rep.

89
00:05:23,160 --> 00:05:24,920
Speaker 2: Sent Samira and I think we're going to be joined

90
00:05:24,920 --> 00:05:27,839
Speaker 2: by Senator Mohammad who are instrumental in helping us get

91
00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:31,240
Speaker 2: this done, helping build the coalition to make this happen.

92
00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:34,880
Speaker 2: We're implementing the program. We built a modern system around it.

93
00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:39,240
Speaker 2: It is secure, and we've got the support lines, hundreds

94
00:05:39,279 --> 00:05:41,640
Speaker 2: of meetings with the team that was there in outreach

95
00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:44,159
Speaker 2: to employers of ways to make this happen.

96
00:05:46,520 --> 00:05:48,840
Speaker 1: You even had Democrats that were trying to stop this.

97
00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:53,679
Speaker 1: You had dflers that were attempting to go and keep

98
00:05:54,080 --> 00:05:57,000
Speaker 1: to keep this program from being implemented right away because

99
00:05:57,040 --> 00:05:59,039
Speaker 1: they said that we were not ready as a state

100
00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:04,560
Speaker 1: for this. Carol Becker at the Minneapolis Times offers some

101
00:06:04,640 --> 00:06:07,960
Speaker 1: really unique insight talking about what she says our real

102
00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:09,400
Speaker 1: solutions to fraud in Minnesota.

103
00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:16,040
Speaker 3: Now, she completely misses the boat in this as it

104
00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:16,840
Speaker 3: relates to the.

105
00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:22,960
Speaker 1: Individuals involved in how they are perpetuating the fraud, but

106
00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:26,520
Speaker 1: it gets into the mechanisms of which enable this to

107
00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:30,960
Speaker 1: happen so easily. Every grant, she writes, is supposed to

108
00:06:31,040 --> 00:06:35,599
Speaker 1: have a grant manager overseeing the distribution of government funds.

109
00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:40,840
Speaker 1: The problem typically government is understaffed with frontline people actually

110
00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:44,040
Speaker 1: doing the work, usually because the more money going into

111
00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:47,240
Speaker 1: the administration, the less is available to serve clients.

112
00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:49,520
Speaker 3: Good decent people.

113
00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:53,400
Speaker 1: Want to minimize administrative costs to provide more good things

114
00:06:53,680 --> 00:06:56,520
Speaker 1: to the public, so it is typical that there are

115
00:06:56,600 --> 00:07:00,200
Speaker 1: grants managers with grant's loads way beyond what they can

116
00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:03,599
Speaker 1: accurately administer. Unfortunately, what we're finding out is we don't

117
00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:07,160
Speaker 1: have good, in decent people working in the Minnesota government

118
00:07:07,200 --> 00:07:10,560
Speaker 1: under Governor Tim Walls, she says. The second problem is

119
00:07:11,200 --> 00:07:15,880
Speaker 1: the computer systems in the government are often ancient. People

120
00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:18,480
Speaker 1: are talking about medicaid fraud, but the system that medicaid

121
00:07:18,520 --> 00:07:23,280
Speaker 1: payments flow through in Minnesota is called MMIs and it's

122
00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:28,720
Speaker 1: thirty five years old. Devan, are you eving thirty five

123
00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:33,040
Speaker 1: years old?

124
00:07:33,080 --> 00:07:37,840
Speaker 3: I didn't think you were. The interface is a green screen.

125
00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:40,800
Speaker 1: If you're too young, like Devin to know what that is,

126
00:07:41,320 --> 00:07:43,960
Speaker 1: that is what you had before computer monitors could go

127
00:07:43,960 --> 00:07:46,880
Speaker 1: and display colors. The ancient systems are not conducive to

128
00:07:46,920 --> 00:07:54,040
Speaker 1: providing reporting to identify problems. I mean, essentially, go watch

129
00:07:54,120 --> 00:08:00,200
Speaker 1: Wargames with Matthew Broderick and Ali Sheeny, and the computer

130
00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:02,680
Speaker 1: systems that they're.

131
00:08:02,200 --> 00:08:05,560
Speaker 3: Using in that movie are at the level.

132
00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:11,360
Speaker 1: Of what is being used to administer billions of Medicaid

133
00:08:11,400 --> 00:08:14,640
Speaker 1: dollars to individuals who then go and commit acts of fraud.

134
00:08:14,680 --> 00:08:16,720
Speaker 1: You cannot make this stuff up.

135
00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:19,760
Speaker 3: Now, she writes.

136
00:08:19,840 --> 00:08:22,080
Speaker 1: You may think it's easy to fix. The problem is

137
00:08:22,120 --> 00:08:26,040
Speaker 1: that really big, complex government computer systems with lots of

138
00:08:26,120 --> 00:08:29,320
Speaker 1: constituencies are really hard to replace. The state learned that

139
00:08:29,440 --> 00:08:32,800
Speaker 1: the hard way with minilars, the driver's license and vehicle

140
00:08:32,840 --> 00:08:35,839
Speaker 1: license tobackle. They wrote a system that didn't work, they

141
00:08:35,840 --> 00:08:39,200
Speaker 1: bought a system that didn't work, then they started a

142
00:08:39,240 --> 00:08:41,120
Speaker 1: new effort to fix thousands of bugs, and in the

143
00:08:41,160 --> 00:08:44,680
Speaker 1: meantime people couldn't get driver's licenses or licenses for their cars.

144
00:08:44,800 --> 00:08:47,439
Speaker 1: Everyone was afraid to touch the system that pays for things.

145
00:08:47,840 --> 00:08:50,600
Speaker 1: For one out of every five Minnesotans and that has

146
00:08:50,720 --> 00:08:58,000
Speaker 1: a fifteen billion dollars running through it. So we're just

147
00:08:58,120 --> 00:09:05,200
Speaker 1: talking about the infra structure. This is why it's so

148
00:09:05,320 --> 00:09:08,680
Speaker 1: easy for these individuals to commit these acts of fraud.

149
00:09:10,960 --> 00:09:12,679
Speaker 1: And it would be one thing if you did have

150
00:09:12,840 --> 00:09:16,840
Speaker 1: good and decent people that were running the show, even

151
00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:20,160
Speaker 1: with this archaic system, because clearly you did back then.

152
00:09:20,640 --> 00:09:25,319
Speaker 1: But we don't anymore do we We have corrupt individuals

153
00:09:26,960 --> 00:09:35,880
Speaker 1: working under a corrupt Democrat party, so irrational that even

154
00:09:35,920 --> 00:09:38,760
Speaker 1: when they have to go and face scrutiny from Minnesota

155
00:09:38,800 --> 00:09:41,880
Speaker 1: media on accountability of what's taking place under their watch

156
00:09:41,880 --> 00:09:44,839
Speaker 1: as governor, they can't help themselves. But just go in

157
00:09:44,920 --> 00:09:49,000
Speaker 1: point Trump, Trump, Trump, orange man bad, Orange man bad.

158
00:09:49,160 --> 00:09:50,160
Speaker 3: It's all his fault.

159
00:09:54,240 --> 00:09:57,200
Speaker 1: We'll get into the problem of the legislature of funding

160
00:09:57,240 --> 00:09:59,880
Speaker 1: programs and why that in and of itself is also

161
00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:05,600
Speaker 1: another layer of issues and problems that's lending itself to

162
00:10:05,640 --> 00:10:08,440
Speaker 1: the fraud. And again, you can have all of these

163
00:10:08,440 --> 00:10:11,480
Speaker 1: systems still in place if you had good and decent

164
00:10:11,520 --> 00:10:17,080
Speaker 1: people that were running the show that weren't corrupt, that

165
00:10:17,160 --> 00:10:19,840
Speaker 1: weren't selfish in their motivations.

166
00:10:20,880 --> 00:10:21,400
Speaker 3: But we don't.

167
00:10:24,280 --> 00:10:26,560
Speaker 1: More of your talkbacks coming up here on Twin City's

168
00:10:26,600 --> 00:10:29,640
Speaker 1: News Talk. Hilton said on Tuesday that it has cut

169
00:10:29,679 --> 00:10:31,480
Speaker 1: ties with the Minnesota hotel that was part of its

170
00:10:31,480 --> 00:10:34,600
Speaker 1: franchise network after the property canceled the reservations for the

171
00:10:34,600 --> 00:10:39,160
Speaker 1: federal immigration agents deployed in the Minneapolis area. And we'll

172
00:10:39,160 --> 00:10:41,560
Speaker 1: talk with Liz Colin from Alpha News at a thirty

173
00:10:41,679 --> 00:10:43,920
Speaker 1: right here on Twin City's News Talk AM eleven thirty

174
00:10:43,960 --> 00:10:52,480
Speaker 1: and one h three five FM.

175
00:10:52,600 --> 00:11:01,000
Speaker 6: Good morning, John. Interesting comments on the computers. One years ago,

176
00:11:01,440 --> 00:11:05,800
Speaker 6: Windows ninety five was very popular and the start of

177
00:11:05,920 --> 00:11:10,360
Speaker 6: the computer age. And it's quite interesting on how in

178
00:11:10,400 --> 00:11:16,320
Speaker 6: Minnesota they want to do AI, but we can't upgrade

179
00:11:16,600 --> 00:11:19,760
Speaker 6: our computer systems to modern times.

180
00:11:20,280 --> 00:11:21,960
Speaker 3: Out clank, have a good day.

181
00:11:22,320 --> 00:11:27,000
Speaker 1: The programs that are taxpayer dollars to the tune of

182
00:11:27,040 --> 00:11:31,240
Speaker 1: fifteen billion dollars are running through are thirty five years old.

183
00:11:31,840 --> 00:11:37,119
Speaker 1: The interface screen is green because the monitors can't display

184
00:11:37,400 --> 00:11:44,280
Speaker 1: colors and they're not conducive to reporting or identifying problems.

185
00:11:45,240 --> 00:11:49,559
Speaker 1: I'm looking off of working off a piece here Minneapolis

186
00:11:49,600 --> 00:11:52,480
Speaker 1: Times Carol Becker Real Solutions to fraud in Minnesota, and

187
00:11:52,559 --> 00:11:57,040
Speaker 1: she doesn't even get into the human component. This is

188
00:11:57,280 --> 00:12:03,160
Speaker 1: just simply the infrastructure in which it's easy for corrupt,

189
00:12:03,840 --> 00:12:07,679
Speaker 1: morally bankrupt individuals within our government to go and take

190
00:12:07,720 --> 00:12:11,040
Speaker 1: advantage of the system. Like when you have somebody who

191
00:12:11,120 --> 00:12:15,280
Speaker 1: issues a six hundred thousand dollars plus payment to a

192
00:12:15,320 --> 00:12:22,240
Speaker 1: social service grantee program designed to go and help individuals

193
00:12:22,240 --> 00:12:26,880
Speaker 1: with alcohol and drug abuse, and then within days of

194
00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:31,000
Speaker 1: cutting that check, you resign and become a consultant for

195
00:12:31,080 --> 00:12:34,200
Speaker 1: that very group you just cut the check to, and

196
00:12:34,240 --> 00:12:37,880
Speaker 1: there's no paper trail to look at to show if

197
00:12:37,880 --> 00:12:41,360
Speaker 1: that money went and actually was used for what it

198
00:12:41,400 --> 00:12:48,200
Speaker 1: was intended for. This whole thing puts into perspective the

199
00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:50,360
Speaker 1: criticism that we've talked about on the show when it

200
00:12:50,360 --> 00:12:58,360
Speaker 1: comes to like violence interrupters in Minneapolis. I mean, and

201
00:12:58,360 --> 00:13:01,079
Speaker 1: that's just those are just can and shake agreements with

202
00:13:01,160 --> 00:13:04,320
Speaker 1: individuals getting hundreds of thousands of dollars that are supposed

203
00:13:04,360 --> 00:13:06,120
Speaker 1: to be protecting the streets of Minneapolis. I don't want

204
00:13:06,120 --> 00:13:07,680
Speaker 1: to get too far off of where I am here,

205
00:13:07,720 --> 00:13:10,839
Speaker 1: but let me get back to this piece. You also

206
00:13:10,880 --> 00:13:14,920
Speaker 1: have the problem beyond the computer systems themselves, the legislature

207
00:13:14,960 --> 00:13:18,680
Speaker 1: funding the programs with entitlements. Usually government programs are funded

208
00:13:18,720 --> 00:13:24,200
Speaker 1: through something called appropriation, literally means the legal authority to

209
00:13:24,200 --> 00:13:28,120
Speaker 1: spend funds the legislature appropriates, say a million dollars for

210
00:13:28,200 --> 00:13:31,760
Speaker 1: a program, it can't overspend that. If the program needs

211
00:13:31,760 --> 00:13:33,520
Speaker 1: more money, it has to go back to the legislature.

212
00:13:34,120 --> 00:13:36,559
Speaker 1: An entitlement, on the other hand, means the payments must

213
00:13:36,640 --> 00:13:41,120
Speaker 1: be made to all eligible app applicants with no limits

214
00:13:41,120 --> 00:13:43,720
Speaker 1: on how much can be spent. Programs that were thought

215
00:13:43,720 --> 00:13:46,599
Speaker 1: to cost two million dollars instead cost one hundred and

216
00:13:46,640 --> 00:13:52,640
Speaker 1: fifty million funded by an entitlement and not an appropriation.

217
00:13:52,920 --> 00:13:56,680
Speaker 1: The people administering the programs, by law, cannot stop approving

218
00:13:56,720 --> 00:14:01,520
Speaker 1: applications even if the program is substantial more expensive than planned.

219
00:14:01,640 --> 00:14:06,240
Speaker 1: And this is the excuse that individuals failed leaders like

220
00:14:06,280 --> 00:14:09,480
Speaker 1: Governor Tim Walls lean back on when they say, well,

221
00:14:09,520 --> 00:14:12,680
Speaker 1: we couldn't solve the programs, guys, is an entitlement, so

222
00:14:12,840 --> 00:14:14,960
Speaker 1: what are you going to do? And yet when things

223
00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:16,920
Speaker 1: get too hot, what does he do? He ends up

224
00:14:16,960 --> 00:14:20,480
Speaker 1: halting funding to some fourteen various programs to act as

225
00:14:20,480 --> 00:14:22,720
Speaker 1: if to put on a show and the political theater

226
00:14:23,280 --> 00:14:25,560
Speaker 1: to make it appear as if he's actually going and

227
00:14:25,600 --> 00:14:28,240
Speaker 1: doing something about the problem. Then there is the lack

228
00:14:28,280 --> 00:14:33,440
Speaker 1: of comprehensive grants management system at the state, A system

229
00:14:33,520 --> 00:14:37,760
Speaker 1: that would track the legislative approval of grants, the solicitation

230
00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:41,480
Speaker 1: of grants, and the approval of grantees, contracts, payments, and

231
00:14:41,560 --> 00:14:46,720
Speaker 1: grant closeouts, one where information about a grantee could be

232
00:14:46,760 --> 00:14:52,360
Speaker 1: shared across various parts of the states. Again, that's what

233
00:14:52,400 --> 00:14:55,240
Speaker 1: I was just talking about. The six hundred and twenty

234
00:14:55,280 --> 00:14:59,160
Speaker 1: seven thousand dollars plus grantee going to an individual providing

235
00:14:59,400 --> 00:15:01,880
Speaker 1: alcohol and drug abuse services.

236
00:15:01,760 --> 00:15:03,280
Speaker 3: Without any need to.

237
00:15:03,240 --> 00:15:05,440
Speaker 1: Go and actually show their work and what they've done.

238
00:15:05,720 --> 00:15:08,160
Speaker 1: And the individual that cuts that check quits the government

239
00:15:08,200 --> 00:15:11,560
Speaker 1: and goes to work as a consultant for the grantee

240
00:15:11,840 --> 00:15:15,160
Speaker 1: that she just gave six hundred thousand dollars plus two.

241
00:15:15,280 --> 00:15:16,360
Speaker 3: You see how this works out.

242
00:15:17,240 --> 00:15:21,760
Speaker 1: The federal government has its own grants dot gov website.

243
00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:26,120
Speaker 1: We don't have that at the state level. So even

244
00:15:26,160 --> 00:15:28,800
Speaker 1: reporting on grants is hard because the systems don't exist.

245
00:15:30,040 --> 00:15:31,920
Speaker 3: She wraps on this. The state needs.

246
00:15:31,640 --> 00:15:36,560
Speaker 1: More audit resources, especially internal auditors. No one really likes auditors,

247
00:15:36,560 --> 00:15:39,480
Speaker 1: she said, despite them providing a backstop for fraud. The

248
00:15:39,520 --> 00:15:42,960
Speaker 1: state should beef up the eternal auditor staff throughout the state.

249
00:15:43,040 --> 00:15:45,800
Speaker 1: But that requires resources too, and it's much more fun

250
00:15:45,840 --> 00:15:48,480
Speaker 1: to add new programs you can talk about in campaign

251
00:15:48,560 --> 00:15:54,880
Speaker 1: literature than auditors. By you guys, remember going back to

252
00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:58,120
Speaker 1: before the holidays when Governor Tim Walls went and created

253
00:15:58,160 --> 00:16:03,440
Speaker 1: that new fraud operation with this new anti fraud czar.

254
00:16:03,840 --> 00:16:08,720
Speaker 1: It's exactly what she's talking about here. She says, people

255
00:16:08,760 --> 00:16:11,400
Speaker 1: want simple fixes. They want headlines, a new sheriff, a

256
00:16:11,400 --> 00:16:14,640
Speaker 1: new inspector general. None of these things in the article

257
00:16:14,680 --> 00:16:16,440
Speaker 1: are going to grab any headlines. They're not going to

258
00:16:16,480 --> 00:16:19,320
Speaker 1: get anyone re elected, but they would lead to less

259
00:16:19,320 --> 00:16:22,360
Speaker 1: fraud in the state. Well yeah, I mean it would

260
00:16:22,440 --> 00:16:24,360
Speaker 1: if you had the safeguards in place that people weren't

261
00:16:24,400 --> 00:16:26,760
Speaker 1: able to do so to go and take advantage of

262
00:16:26,760 --> 00:16:28,840
Speaker 1: it. It reminds me a lot about the situation that we've

263
00:16:28,880 --> 00:16:31,040
Speaker 1: had on our southern border, and it's amazing to me

264
00:16:31,120 --> 00:16:34,360
Speaker 1: how often that analogy works in so many different circumstances,

265
00:16:35,160 --> 00:16:37,720
Speaker 1: and the same thing rings true here. You see, Democrats

266
00:16:37,720 --> 00:16:39,880
Speaker 1: don't want to go and fix the system because they

267
00:16:39,880 --> 00:16:43,120
Speaker 1: can game the system. They can't put forward programs to

268
00:16:43,200 --> 00:16:46,640
Speaker 1: directly redistribute the wealth, which is what their own political

269
00:16:46,640 --> 00:16:49,800
Speaker 1: beliefs and ideologies demand them to do.

270
00:16:50,160 --> 00:16:51,920
Speaker 3: This is what they believe should happen.

271
00:16:52,080 --> 00:16:55,080
Speaker 1: This is the belief system of individuals like Governor Tim Walls.

272
00:16:55,280 --> 00:16:57,680
Speaker 1: But he can't be straightforward about that because it's not

273
00:16:57,760 --> 00:17:00,920
Speaker 1: palatable to the American public. Live in America, and for

274
00:17:00,920 --> 00:17:04,280
Speaker 1: the most part, we still embrace freedom and liberty.

275
00:17:04,800 --> 00:17:06,040
Speaker 3: So instead, what do they do.

276
00:17:06,280 --> 00:17:08,520
Speaker 1: They keep these programs the way that they are so

277
00:17:08,560 --> 00:17:10,640
Speaker 1: they can take advantage of them. It's the same way

278
00:17:10,680 --> 00:17:13,480
Speaker 1: that Joe Biden in the four years and others took

279
00:17:13,480 --> 00:17:16,080
Speaker 1: advantage of what's happening on our southern border. Rather than

280
00:17:16,160 --> 00:17:20,600
Speaker 1: going and shoring up the border, stopping illegal immigration, building

281
00:17:20,640 --> 00:17:24,360
Speaker 1: the wall, they enable individuals to come in that they

282
00:17:24,400 --> 00:17:26,800
Speaker 1: can then go and take advantage of. It's exactly the

283
00:17:26,800 --> 00:17:31,119
Speaker 1: same thing that's happening here. Don't fix the infrastructure because

284
00:17:31,119 --> 00:17:35,960
Speaker 1: it gives them the opportunity to go and redistribute your

285
00:17:36,160 --> 00:17:39,760
Speaker 1: money that you've earned to individuals who can then go

286
00:17:40,280 --> 00:17:43,639
Speaker 1: and commit their acts of fraud, which is totally fine

287
00:17:43,680 --> 00:17:46,840
Speaker 1: by them because they'll keep voting for Democrats.

288
00:17:49,720 --> 00:17:52,560
Speaker 3: Oh but it's hard, John, It's these are new computer systems.

289
00:17:52,640 --> 00:17:57,760
Speaker 1: It's difficult to yeah anything worth doing is hard, but

290
00:17:57,840 --> 00:18:00,800
Speaker 1: Governor Tim Walls and Democrats the deal it was never

291
00:18:00,840 --> 00:18:04,760
Speaker 1: worth doing because it was politically advantageous to continue to

292
00:18:04,960 --> 00:18:09,960
Speaker 1: use a thirty five year old, archaic computer program to

293
00:18:10,080 --> 00:18:17,880
Speaker 1: distribute fifteen billion dollars worth of taxpayer money that's still

294
00:18:17,880 --> 00:18:23,520
Speaker 1: in use right now as I speak. All right, we

295
00:18:23,520 --> 00:18:26,400
Speaker 1: will get to a quick immigration update after my conversation

296
00:18:26,480 --> 00:18:28,680
Speaker 1: with Liz Colin from Alpha News and your talk back

315
00:19:34,680 --> 00:19:37,080
Speaker 7: it was a relaxing vacation. I know we spoke a

316
00:19:37,200 --> 00:19:42,120
Speaker 7: couple times, kind of in disbelief, how just so much

317
00:19:42,160 --> 00:19:45,879
Speaker 7: is happening. So excited to be joining you again on.

318
00:19:45,760 --> 00:19:50,320
Speaker 1: This Wednesday, Liz. It's it's it's day seven. It is

319
00:19:50,520 --> 00:19:53,120
Speaker 1: it is only it is only it is only day

320
00:19:53,160 --> 00:19:54,280
Speaker 1: seven of this new year.

321
00:19:54,520 --> 00:19:58,720
Speaker 7: I know, I know, it seems like every time, the

322
00:19:58,800 --> 00:20:01,720
Speaker 7: Year of Accountability and consequence. My gosh, we never thought

323
00:20:01,720 --> 00:20:04,040
Speaker 7: we'd get that in Minnesota. It's our prayers have been

324
00:20:04,320 --> 00:20:05,320
Speaker 7: answered in many ways.

325
00:20:05,359 --> 00:20:07,040
Speaker 1: But this is how, this is how it was going

326
00:20:07,080 --> 00:20:10,600
Speaker 1: to be, right, I mean, given you know, you and

327
00:20:10,680 --> 00:20:14,520
Speaker 1: I others, we sat back and we know about what's

328
00:20:14,560 --> 00:20:15,240
Speaker 1: been happening.

329
00:20:15,280 --> 00:20:16,800
Speaker 3: We know about what's been going on.

330
00:20:16,920 --> 00:20:19,320
Speaker 1: You guys have been doing the reporting about all of this,

331
00:20:19,880 --> 00:20:22,239
Speaker 1: and you know this desire if people only knew, if

332
00:20:22,240 --> 00:20:24,080
Speaker 1: people only knew, And a little bit gets out there

333
00:20:24,119 --> 00:20:26,159
Speaker 1: and it goes nowhere, and then finally when it hits,

334
00:20:26,680 --> 00:20:29,920
Speaker 1: it's like the dam has just completely broke open, and

335
00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:32,400
Speaker 1: you know, here we are standing outside the matrix.

336
00:20:32,480 --> 00:20:35,240
Speaker 3: And of course it's going to be this It's going

337
00:20:35,320 --> 00:20:35,840
Speaker 3: to be this.

338
00:20:36,240 --> 00:20:42,720
Speaker 1: Chaotic because the magnitude on dozens of levels necessitates it. It

339
00:20:42,720 --> 00:20:45,840
Speaker 1: seems like every time I hop online, I see you,

340
00:20:46,040 --> 00:20:48,280
Speaker 1: I see Walter Hudson. I look up on Fox News

341
00:20:48,280 --> 00:20:50,439
Speaker 1: and there you are. I'm glad to see all this.

342
00:20:50,520 --> 00:20:52,600
Speaker 1: I've done my own fair share of hits on other

343
00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:57,159
Speaker 1: media outlets. I just, you know, is the accountability coming

344
00:20:57,240 --> 00:21:00,280
Speaker 1: beyond Governor Tim Walls, you know, dropping out of the

345
00:21:00,440 --> 00:21:02,600
Speaker 1: of the race, which is big in and of itself,

346
00:21:02,640 --> 00:21:05,080
Speaker 1: Make no mistake. I think that's the question that's really

347
00:21:05,119 --> 00:21:06,160
Speaker 1: on everybody's mind right now.

348
00:21:06,200 --> 00:21:09,840
Speaker 7: Liz, Yeah, you know, I couldn't agree more. I don't know,

349
00:21:09,880 --> 00:21:11,880
Speaker 7: it sounds like that. You know, so the expense will

350
00:21:11,880 --> 00:21:13,840
Speaker 7: be in town for about thirty days, but I'm kind

351
00:21:13,880 --> 00:21:16,040
Speaker 7: of like, do they need to extend their stay for

352
00:21:16,320 --> 00:21:18,800
Speaker 7: a few years to get this all sorted out? And

353
00:21:18,840 --> 00:21:21,119
Speaker 7: I guess that will be, you know, pretty telling what

354
00:21:21,400 --> 00:21:25,640
Speaker 7: happens next to election cycle, that's for sure. But we

355
00:21:25,720 --> 00:21:28,320
Speaker 7: know how deep this goes You're right there, John. You

356
00:21:28,359 --> 00:21:31,600
Speaker 7: know this isn't something that's going to be remedied, and

357
00:21:31,640 --> 00:21:33,440
Speaker 7: it's not just one man. That's why I think it's

358
00:21:33,440 --> 00:21:37,640
Speaker 7: so funny Governor Walls. Certainly there's a lot of evidence

359
00:21:37,720 --> 00:21:41,439
Speaker 7: there to show, you know, the different scandals and what

360
00:21:41,520 --> 00:21:45,639
Speaker 7: he is responsible for. I think, but this isn't just

361
00:21:45,640 --> 00:21:47,720
Speaker 7: just one guy. But can you even believe just the

362
00:21:47,800 --> 00:21:50,960
Speaker 7: unhinged rants this guy is these last.

363
00:21:50,720 --> 00:21:52,120
Speaker 3: Couple of days, I'm like, yeah.

364
00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:54,320
Speaker 7: Right, yeah, I think the walls.

365
00:21:54,359 --> 00:21:55,320
Speaker 3: The walls are closing in.

366
00:21:55,440 --> 00:21:57,760
Speaker 1: No, No, I think yeah, absolutely, I think he knows

367
00:21:57,800 --> 00:21:59,960
Speaker 1: he's in trouble. I absolutely think he knows he's in trouble.

368
00:22:00,200 --> 00:22:00,680
Speaker 3: Yeah.

369
00:22:00,760 --> 00:22:03,000
Speaker 1: You look at that OLA report yesterday, which I know

370
00:22:03,040 --> 00:22:04,760
Speaker 1: that you guys reported on. If you head on over

371
00:22:04,800 --> 00:22:08,720
Speaker 1: to alphanews dot org, you can see the reporting there

372
00:22:08,800 --> 00:22:12,280
Speaker 1: in detail of what the Legislative Auditor Judy Randall on

373
00:22:12,280 --> 00:22:14,800
Speaker 1: that OLA report revealed yesterday.

374
00:22:15,960 --> 00:22:17,320
Speaker 3: It's absolutely stunning.

375
00:22:17,400 --> 00:22:20,840
Speaker 1: I mean, now you're seeing the corruption within the government

376
00:22:20,920 --> 00:22:24,040
Speaker 1: of Governor Tim Walls taking place even before the checks

377
00:22:24,119 --> 00:22:27,520
Speaker 1: are signed and sent off to individuals committing the fraud.

378
00:22:29,320 --> 00:22:31,000
Speaker 7: Yeah, there's this hearing that I don't think a lot

379
00:22:31,040 --> 00:22:33,560
Speaker 7: of people even knew about yesterday, and then this report

380
00:22:33,640 --> 00:22:37,919
Speaker 7: is sent out to the media. But these remarks. In

381
00:22:38,000 --> 00:22:41,600
Speaker 7: twenty seven years I've been with the Office of the

382
00:22:41,680 --> 00:22:47,040
Speaker 7: Legislative Auditor, I've never seen this before. We've had suspicions periodically,

383
00:22:47,160 --> 00:22:49,320
Speaker 7: but we've never been able to prove it, to document it,

384
00:22:49,359 --> 00:22:52,280
Speaker 7: and we did in this case. Very troubling those were

385
00:22:52,359 --> 00:22:56,520
Speaker 7: the words from Legislative Auditor Judy Randall. But again, this

386
00:22:56,640 --> 00:23:02,120
Speaker 7: is just one example of you know, department here, one program.

387
00:23:02,119 --> 00:23:05,600
Speaker 7: You know, these programs. This is just so so deep

388
00:23:05,640 --> 00:23:07,840
Speaker 7: and such a such a spider web that it's not

389
00:23:07,880 --> 00:23:09,800
Speaker 7: going to be cleaned up in just just a few

390
00:23:10,720 --> 00:23:13,719
Speaker 7: you know days. And you know, it's actually very interesting

391
00:23:13,720 --> 00:23:15,359
Speaker 7: because I had this conversation which you know, we're going

392
00:23:15,400 --> 00:23:18,960
Speaker 7: to talk about this as well, with former congress Congressman

393
00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:22,040
Speaker 7: Michelle Bachman, who was such a breath of fresh air

394
00:23:22,080 --> 00:23:25,119
Speaker 7: to talk to. I can't remember speaking to her in

395
00:23:25,119 --> 00:23:27,560
Speaker 7: my days at at w CCO. But Gosha Michau, simbody

396
00:23:27,600 --> 00:23:29,840
Speaker 7: with common sense is not coming off. It's just uh

397
00:23:30,400 --> 00:23:34,760
Speaker 7: angry and blaming, you know, people for not being accepting

398
00:23:34,800 --> 00:23:36,640
Speaker 7: in Minnesota or whatnot. But She really laid this out

399
00:23:36,680 --> 00:23:39,880
Speaker 7: that they really need a forensic audit of the state budget.

400
00:23:39,960 --> 00:23:43,600
Speaker 7: That's where this has to start. And she was just

401
00:23:43,680 --> 00:23:46,119
Speaker 7: seeing so many you know, red flags in the distance

402
00:23:46,160 --> 00:23:48,840
Speaker 7: with this new you know, paid family leave. She spoke

403
00:23:48,920 --> 00:23:50,879
Speaker 7: quite a bit about that with this interview that I

404
00:23:50,880 --> 00:23:54,919
Speaker 7: did with her for my podcast, and just things that

405
00:23:54,960 --> 00:23:57,520
Speaker 7: she's seen over the years, and in many ways she was,

406
00:23:57,720 --> 00:24:00,320
Speaker 7: you know, sending the warning signs years ago. Was well

407
00:24:01,040 --> 00:24:03,520
Speaker 7: even said the government Minnesota has to change or we

408
00:24:03,560 --> 00:24:06,520
Speaker 7: will not have a state anymore. We're going to be

409
00:24:06,600 --> 00:24:09,720
Speaker 7: broke and bankrupt. And I think we're seeing a lot

410
00:24:09,760 --> 00:24:10,600
Speaker 7: of that play out right now.

411
00:24:10,680 --> 00:24:13,280
Speaker 1: I'm surprised we have a state right now. I mean,

412
00:24:13,680 --> 00:24:17,880
Speaker 1: I honestly, we have a favorite I am. I look

413
00:24:17,880 --> 00:24:22,119
Speaker 1: at this and I go again, just using common sense.

414
00:24:22,280 --> 00:24:24,480
Speaker 1: You know, tip of the iceberg has been described a lot,

415
00:24:24,520 --> 00:24:27,000
Speaker 1: and I am almost fearful to go and use terminology

416
00:24:27,080 --> 00:24:29,320
Speaker 1: like that because I think it gets used too often

417
00:24:29,359 --> 00:24:32,520
Speaker 1: and it loses its meaning. But we're seeing that right now.

418
00:24:32,560 --> 00:24:34,800
Speaker 1: I mean, when you have these little individual pockets of

419
00:24:34,880 --> 00:24:38,720
Speaker 1: reports of people cutting these you know, over half a

420
00:24:38,720 --> 00:24:42,160
Speaker 1: million dollar checks to these grantees and then leaving days

421
00:24:42,200 --> 00:24:44,800
Speaker 1: later to go join the grantee and then you hear, oh,

422
00:24:44,800 --> 00:24:47,840
Speaker 1: well we're gonna put new safeguards in what and how

423
00:24:47,840 --> 00:24:50,240
Speaker 1: many other individuals have gone and done that. I'm shocked

424
00:24:50,240 --> 00:24:53,840
Speaker 1: that we're even functioning as a state right now, given

425
00:24:53,880 --> 00:24:57,240
Speaker 1: what's been exposed so far. And I think that's again

426
00:24:57,359 --> 00:25:00,240
Speaker 1: a driving factor why Walls ended up dropping out. He knows, Oh,

427
00:25:00,720 --> 00:25:02,920
Speaker 1: he knows what's he knows what's coming down the pike.

428
00:25:04,800 --> 00:25:07,480
Speaker 7: Yeah, that was so shocking too. In that report. This

429
00:25:07,760 --> 00:25:12,280
Speaker 7: so this is DHS's Behavioral Health Administration so BHA, but

430
00:25:12,440 --> 00:25:15,200
Speaker 7: to see that in one case, it paid six hundred

431
00:25:15,200 --> 00:25:19,919
Speaker 7: and seventy thousand dollars for one month of work and

432
00:25:19,960 --> 00:25:23,920
Speaker 7: then there are no documents to support the payment, and

433
00:25:24,119 --> 00:25:26,679
Speaker 7: it says that, yeah, the state grant manager, you know,

434
00:25:27,280 --> 00:25:29,000
Speaker 7: leaves them to go to work on it, but six

435
00:25:29,040 --> 00:25:31,840
Speaker 7: hundred and seventy thousand dollars, no accountability at all. But

436
00:25:31,840 --> 00:25:33,840
Speaker 7: that's what we've said about this fraud for so long.

437
00:25:33,880 --> 00:25:35,959
Speaker 7: It's actually interesting. I just thought i'd point this out

438
00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:38,240
Speaker 7: with your listeners because we were talking about this before,

439
00:25:38,280 --> 00:25:41,399
Speaker 7: but we were out on Monday, December sixteenth, Jenna and

440
00:25:41,440 --> 00:25:43,720
Speaker 7: I from ALFA News working on a story kind of

441
00:25:43,720 --> 00:25:45,960
Speaker 7: about autism and adult daycares, and we were doing these

442
00:25:46,480 --> 00:25:49,239
Speaker 7: spot checks and then I then come to find out

443
00:25:49,280 --> 00:25:55,160
Speaker 7: that it was Tuesday that the Nick Shirley was out

444
00:25:55,160 --> 00:25:58,120
Speaker 7: there with David. We obviously did what the know at

445
00:25:58,119 --> 00:26:01,200
Speaker 7: the time, so we up one of the places that

446
00:26:01,240 --> 00:26:03,359
Speaker 7: he went to the very next day, not knowing that

447
00:26:03,440 --> 00:26:06,280
Speaker 7: of course at the time, but just how this blew up,

448
00:26:07,280 --> 00:26:09,800
Speaker 7: you know, after his story, but we were out out

449
00:26:09,800 --> 00:26:11,639
Speaker 7: there as well, and this is just so I mean,

450
00:26:11,680 --> 00:26:13,280
Speaker 7: we've done so many of these stories, but it's the

451
00:26:13,320 --> 00:26:15,800
Speaker 7: same thing. It's the luxury vehicle in the parking lot,

452
00:26:15,920 --> 00:26:19,159
Speaker 7: it's the empty building, and not even empty building, and

453
00:26:19,240 --> 00:26:21,919
Speaker 7: many of these cases, I mean they are just dilapidated.

454
00:26:22,840 --> 00:26:25,000
Speaker 7: You wouldn't even you would never take your child into

455
00:26:25,040 --> 00:26:28,600
Speaker 7: this place if you actually cared about your children. You

456
00:26:28,640 --> 00:26:30,719
Speaker 7: take a look around, going like this is a you know,

457
00:26:30,760 --> 00:26:34,280
Speaker 7: this is an adult daycare, or this is an autism center.

458
00:26:35,240 --> 00:26:38,760
Speaker 7: But really just this out in the open fraud that

459
00:26:38,840 --> 00:26:41,960
Speaker 7: we've seen for such a long time. But now it

460
00:26:41,960 --> 00:26:44,359
Speaker 7: seems like, you know, it's actually stafe to talk about.

461
00:26:44,840 --> 00:26:46,439
Speaker 1: So I want to encourage everybody to head on over

462
00:26:46,440 --> 00:26:48,359
Speaker 1: an alphanews dot org. Definitely want to check out the

463
00:26:48,359 --> 00:26:52,080
Speaker 1: conversation with with Michelle Fishbaukin, And as you mentioned, Liz,

464
00:26:53,119 --> 00:26:55,479
Speaker 1: it's it's good to hear from an individual who's been

465
00:26:55,480 --> 00:26:57,280
Speaker 1: involved in the state for a long time, and also

466
00:26:57,480 --> 00:26:59,320
Speaker 1: to get a better understanding of how long this has

467
00:26:59,359 --> 00:27:02,320
Speaker 1: been going on. Convinced the Trifecta in the years when

468
00:27:02,359 --> 00:27:05,080
Speaker 1: the Democrats had it really was just pouring jet fuel

469
00:27:05,240 --> 00:27:10,119
Speaker 1: on the fraud fire, and she certainly provides that perspective.

470
00:27:10,240 --> 00:27:12,080
Speaker 1: I want to go here as well, because as we

471
00:27:12,119 --> 00:27:14,760
Speaker 1: talk about fixing the problem, there's a great piece that

472
00:27:14,800 --> 00:27:18,720
Speaker 1: you guys have up right now as well talking about

473
00:27:18,720 --> 00:27:21,800
Speaker 1: the need to bring in prosecutors to end these schemes.

474
00:27:21,840 --> 00:27:24,840
Speaker 1: I mean, we need teams here in Minnesota if we're

475
00:27:24,840 --> 00:27:28,040
Speaker 1: going to be able to hold people accountable, bring forward indictments,

476
00:27:28,640 --> 00:27:31,320
Speaker 1: prosecutions on individuals. But it's going to take a lot

477
00:27:31,359 --> 00:27:33,320
Speaker 1: of people on the ground to make this happen. And

478
00:27:33,359 --> 00:27:36,240
Speaker 1: I know you have some reporting regarding that very issue

479
00:27:36,280 --> 00:27:37,720
Speaker 1: available at alphanews dot org.

480
00:27:37,720 --> 00:27:38,080
Speaker 3: Correct.

481
00:27:39,280 --> 00:27:41,720
Speaker 7: Yeah, And actually I saw on talks News this morning

482
00:27:41,720 --> 00:27:44,119
Speaker 7: that they're reporting that there are more prosecutors coming to

483
00:27:44,160 --> 00:27:46,320
Speaker 7: Minnesota and one has to wonder if it has something

484
00:27:46,320 --> 00:27:50,760
Speaker 7: also to do with Governor Walls going after Joe Thompson

485
00:27:51,000 --> 00:27:56,600
Speaker 7: in this Sunhage grant yesterday. So strange, but he took

486
00:27:56,680 --> 00:27:59,000
Speaker 7: aim at him, you know, like, how dare he put

487
00:27:59,040 --> 00:28:02,440
Speaker 7: the fraud total at night billion dollars, which it's definitely

488
00:28:02,560 --> 00:28:05,560
Speaker 7: much higher. So was I think conservative in that estimate

489
00:28:05,600 --> 00:28:08,800
Speaker 7: when he was laying that out as a first assistant

490
00:28:08,840 --> 00:28:09,679
Speaker 7: at US attorney.

491
00:28:10,160 --> 00:28:12,360
Speaker 3: But he went after him.

492
00:28:12,359 --> 00:28:15,800
Speaker 7: And then we have his announcement now from Washington that

493
00:28:15,800 --> 00:28:18,280
Speaker 7: they're sending more prosecutors in. I know that's been the

494
00:28:18,840 --> 00:28:21,159
Speaker 7: case all along. I think it's day of five in

495
00:28:21,240 --> 00:28:23,639
Speaker 7: that office, and they basically kind of said, you know,

496
00:28:23,640 --> 00:28:26,160
Speaker 7: we're not even to be able to prosecute our way.

497
00:28:26,000 --> 00:28:26,399
Speaker 3: Out of this.

498
00:28:26,800 --> 00:28:31,120
Speaker 7: And he said that months ago at a press conference.

499
00:28:31,200 --> 00:28:33,800
Speaker 7: And then also we have an ongoing investigation that I

500
00:28:33,960 --> 00:28:37,120
Speaker 7: just said, saw on just the News this morning into

501
00:28:37,600 --> 00:28:40,760
Speaker 7: the millions of dollars leaving the airport. This is the

502
00:28:40,760 --> 00:28:45,320
Speaker 7: story we also profiled recently somebody who worked at the

503
00:28:45,360 --> 00:28:48,960
Speaker 7: airport ten years ago talking about millions of dollars leaving

504
00:28:49,120 --> 00:28:52,840
Speaker 7: MSP always documented, but hundreds of millions of dollars just

505
00:28:52,880 --> 00:28:56,040
Speaker 7: in the last couple of years leaving MSP and now

506
00:28:56,080 --> 00:28:59,320
Speaker 7: that is part of this investigation from the federal government

507
00:28:59,600 --> 00:29:03,760
Speaker 7: as well. It's it's wild, but even speaking to the

508
00:29:03,800 --> 00:29:06,360
Speaker 7: former former congressman, and that's what she said, she'd sort

509
00:29:06,360 --> 00:29:09,960
Speaker 7: of been in touch with different different agencies, obviously has

510
00:29:10,040 --> 00:29:12,280
Speaker 7: friends within the Trump administration, and that's what she said.

511
00:29:12,280 --> 00:29:14,080
Speaker 7: She said, You're gonna have to go into Minnesota all

512
00:29:14,120 --> 00:29:17,680
Speaker 7: at once because there are no real, you know, leaders

513
00:29:17,720 --> 00:29:20,120
Speaker 7: in government that you can trust. You don't have the

514
00:29:20,160 --> 00:29:24,200
Speaker 7: attorney general you can turn to, you don't have the governor,

515
00:29:24,360 --> 00:29:26,640
Speaker 7: you know, the Minneapolis mayor. You're going to have to

516
00:29:26,680 --> 00:29:28,720
Speaker 7: just go in all at once and flood the zone.

517
00:29:29,000 --> 00:29:32,360
Speaker 7: And certainly feel like that's what's happening at the moment.

518
00:29:32,680 --> 00:29:35,600
Speaker 1: Well, and you know, as I mentioned throughout the show

519
00:29:35,640 --> 00:29:39,240
Speaker 1: this morning, I don't think that I think Governor Tim

520
00:29:39,280 --> 00:29:42,360
Speaker 1: Walls in inevitably resigns over all of this, I really do.

521
00:29:42,440 --> 00:29:42,880
Speaker 3: I don't know.

522
00:29:43,160 --> 00:29:45,520
Speaker 1: I think he's going to become a liability to whomever

523
00:29:46,120 --> 00:29:49,720
Speaker 1: is the Democrat choice to run for governor here in

524
00:29:49,760 --> 00:29:52,360
Speaker 1: the state. We'll see how this transpires. But the way

525
00:29:52,360 --> 00:29:55,560
Speaker 1: that this news is coming out, I just I don't

526
00:29:55,600 --> 00:29:59,320
Speaker 1: see how he him still being in office is beneficial

527
00:29:59,720 --> 00:30:03,360
Speaker 1: to there, you know, desire to have you know, another

528
00:30:03,400 --> 00:30:05,000
Speaker 1: Democrat governor here in Minnesota.

529
00:30:05,040 --> 00:30:06,360
Speaker 3: I could be wrong, but that's kind of where my

530
00:30:06,360 --> 00:30:08,760
Speaker 3: head's at right now, is No.

531
00:30:08,800 --> 00:30:10,760
Speaker 7: I mean I kind of agree with judging by what

532
00:30:10,760 --> 00:30:13,040
Speaker 7: we saw yesterday, and you know, we had talked about this.

533
00:30:13,080 --> 00:30:14,760
Speaker 7: I think we even talked about it on the air,

534
00:30:14,800 --> 00:30:16,560
Speaker 7: you know, will he even still be on the ticket?

535
00:30:16,600 --> 00:30:18,959
Speaker 7: You know, months ago we were kind of speculating and

536
00:30:19,000 --> 00:30:20,920
Speaker 7: we had heard that, you know, he was struggling to

537
00:30:21,000 --> 00:30:25,320
Speaker 7: raise money in Minnesota, really having people, really having trouble

538
00:30:25,320 --> 00:30:27,920
Speaker 7: even getting people to go to events in Minnesota to

539
00:30:28,080 --> 00:30:31,920
Speaker 7: raise money. And then we see him trying to raise

540
00:30:31,960 --> 00:30:34,800
Speaker 7: money out of the state, and usually that's a signal

541
00:30:34,840 --> 00:30:38,360
Speaker 7: obviously that things aren't going well and that this isn't

542
00:30:38,360 --> 00:30:40,840
Speaker 7: going to last much longer. But judging by yesterday, has

543
00:30:40,880 --> 00:30:44,400
Speaker 7: he already been told that, you know, he's not getting

544
00:30:44,400 --> 00:30:47,000
Speaker 7: this sentence seat and it really is over for him

545
00:30:47,000 --> 00:30:49,720
Speaker 7: because I just don't think he was doing Democrats any

546
00:30:49,720 --> 00:30:52,480
Speaker 7: favors in his remarks yesterday either, so they're going to

547
00:30:52,520 --> 00:30:56,680
Speaker 7: want to keep their their distance. But yeah, he we've

548
00:30:56,720 --> 00:30:58,520
Speaker 7: seen a lot from him over the years, but that

549
00:30:58,760 --> 00:31:01,440
Speaker 7: was kind of kind of took the cake in my opinion,

550
00:31:01,480 --> 00:31:05,239
Speaker 7: just blaming everyone who's actually trying to fix this is

551
00:31:06,600 --> 00:31:07,880
Speaker 7: seems like he has something to hide.

552
00:31:07,960 --> 00:31:11,520
Speaker 1: John, let's get to just you think le'll get till

553
00:31:11,520 --> 00:31:14,200
Speaker 1: one more kind of off of what we're talking about,

554
00:31:14,280 --> 00:31:16,680
Speaker 1: but still I wanted to bring it up. Available at

555
00:31:16,680 --> 00:31:22,719
Speaker 1: alphanus dot org. Three Minnesota physicians responsible for inducing over

556
00:31:23,040 --> 00:31:27,440
Speaker 1: thirty two hundred abortions since twenty twenty four. This is bizarre.

557
00:31:27,480 --> 00:31:29,520
Speaker 1: What can you tell us about what you guys found.

558
00:31:31,400 --> 00:31:35,600
Speaker 7: Yes, this is a report that's issued every year that

559
00:31:35,640 --> 00:31:37,680
Speaker 7: I encourage folks to take a look at over at

560
00:31:37,680 --> 00:31:41,120
Speaker 7: elfinews dot org. But thirteen thousand, seven hundred and twenty

561
00:31:41,200 --> 00:31:47,880
Speaker 7: nine abortions horrific taking place in Minnesota in twenty twenty four.

562
00:31:48,560 --> 00:31:50,520
Speaker 7: I think it's this year every two years, that's how

563
00:31:50,560 --> 00:31:54,920
Speaker 7: it works. But three Minnesota positions responsible for thirty two.

564
00:31:54,960 --> 00:31:56,000
Speaker 3: Hundred of those.

565
00:31:56,120 --> 00:32:00,600
Speaker 7: This is an annual report that they put up online.

566
00:32:00,720 --> 00:32:03,880
Speaker 7: But kind of the type of abortion and again under walls,

567
00:32:03,920 --> 00:32:06,320
Speaker 7: let's not forget that we now have one of the

568
00:32:06,320 --> 00:32:09,680
Speaker 7: most radical abortion laws in the country, actually, I think

569
00:32:09,800 --> 00:32:14,600
Speaker 7: probably the most with allowing late term abortion as well,

570
00:32:15,960 --> 00:32:20,240
Speaker 7: but eight thousand of them performed at planned parenthood. The

571
00:32:20,440 --> 00:32:24,600
Speaker 7: names the clinics and despite the medical imperative to do

572
00:32:24,680 --> 00:32:27,960
Speaker 7: no harm. Two hundred and thirty three physicians who induced

573
00:32:27,960 --> 00:32:32,560
Speaker 7: abortions in Minnesota and just three of them responsible for

574
00:32:32,600 --> 00:32:36,520
Speaker 7: inducing hundreds of them. But it's gonna be honest, it's

575
00:32:36,560 --> 00:32:39,360
Speaker 7: sad to even see those numbers in black and white

576
00:32:39,360 --> 00:32:41,400
Speaker 7: when you look at that report.

577
00:32:41,920 --> 00:32:42,520
Speaker 3: It really is.

578
00:32:42,960 --> 00:32:45,680
Speaker 1: And all of these are available at alphanews dot org.

579
00:32:46,120 --> 00:32:49,760
Speaker 1: Liz Colin, and again, I just want to shout out

580
00:32:49,880 --> 00:32:51,360
Speaker 1: for the great work that you guys have been doing

581
00:32:51,640 --> 00:32:54,200
Speaker 1: over there and exposing all of this. It's so great

582
00:32:54,200 --> 00:32:57,680
Speaker 1: to see it get national attention finally. So much of

583
00:32:57,680 --> 00:33:00,400
Speaker 1: what we've already we've already known, and a lot of

584
00:33:00,400 --> 00:33:01,800
Speaker 1: it due to the work that you guys have been

585
00:33:01,840 --> 00:33:04,520
Speaker 1: doing doing over there. And I know our listeners know it,

586
00:33:04,760 --> 00:33:06,360
Speaker 1: and I want to just take a moment and just

587
00:33:06,720 --> 00:33:08,760
Speaker 1: acknowledge that as well, because so much of what we're

588
00:33:08,760 --> 00:33:11,360
Speaker 1: talking about is being exposed today is because of your

589
00:33:11,360 --> 00:33:12,440
Speaker 1: guys's efforts over there.

590
00:33:12,480 --> 00:33:15,720
Speaker 3: So a great job on that front. Well, that's very kind.

591
00:33:15,760 --> 00:33:18,560
Speaker 7: Thank you. Actually, you were on Fox News and said

592
00:33:18,560 --> 00:33:20,400
Speaker 7: my name. I guessed and I heard from so many

593
00:33:20,400 --> 00:33:23,080
Speaker 7: people that you gave me a shout out in ELPHA

594
00:33:23,120 --> 00:33:26,040
Speaker 7: News and that's awesome. So thank you for helping to

595
00:33:26,080 --> 00:33:28,640
Speaker 7: be our cheerleader. We'll just keep plugging away. I also

596
00:33:28,680 --> 00:33:30,720
Speaker 7: wanted to note for the listeners if they're looking to

597
00:33:30,760 --> 00:33:34,560
Speaker 7: tune in to the House Oversight Committee this morning at nine,

598
00:33:35,240 --> 00:33:39,720
Speaker 7: ELFIN News will be streaming that as well. Awesome that's

599
00:33:39,720 --> 00:33:41,720
Speaker 7: coming up at nine o'clock this morning on all our

600
00:33:41,720 --> 00:33:45,800
Speaker 7: social media channels and our YouTube and whatnot. So good

601
00:33:45,840 --> 00:33:48,280
Speaker 7: to talk to you again, John, and look forward to

602
00:33:48,360 --> 00:33:50,760
Speaker 7: chatting again next week. Who knows what will happen by that? Huh?

603
00:33:50,800 --> 00:33:51,240
Speaker 3: Seriously?

604
00:33:51,240 --> 00:33:54,240
Speaker 1: All right, let's call in Alpha News as always. Thank

605
00:33:54,240 --> 00:33:55,760
Speaker 1: you for the time this morning. Great speaking with you.

606
00:33:57,160 --> 00:33:57,680
Speaker 7: Thank you, John.

607
00:33:57,840 --> 00:33:59,000
Speaker 3: All right, before we get to your.

608
00:33:58,880 --> 00:34:00,480
Speaker 1: Talk back of the day, I have another clip from

609
00:34:00,480 --> 00:34:02,080
Speaker 1: Governor Tim Walls that I want to share with you

610
00:34:02,120 --> 00:34:06,400
Speaker 1: from his press conference yesterday. Here's Walls talking about his

611
00:34:06,520 --> 00:34:11,279
Speaker 1: concern as DHS surges the agents into Minnesota.

612
00:34:11,480 --> 00:34:14,719
Speaker 2: Trum knows it's evil and that type of hate and

613
00:34:14,760 --> 00:34:17,719
Speaker 2: those types of threats that are actionable. Yes, and look,

614
00:34:17,760 --> 00:34:20,399
Speaker 2: I'm concerned for my family. But I've got a little

615
00:34:20,400 --> 00:34:23,200
Speaker 2: bit of protection now, my family not so much. But

616
00:34:23,280 --> 00:34:26,280
Speaker 2: what about Samali immigrants who are minding their own business.

617
00:34:26,760 --> 00:34:29,800
Speaker 2: What we've got two thousand folks. We don't even know

618
00:34:29,840 --> 00:34:32,239
Speaker 2: who they are. They'll be wearing masks being here in

619
00:34:32,239 --> 00:34:34,920
Speaker 2: Minnesota harassing them. If you want us to fix fraud,

620
00:34:35,320 --> 00:34:36,040
Speaker 2: come and help us.

621
00:34:36,360 --> 00:34:37,120
Speaker 7: Come and help us do that.

622
00:34:37,120 --> 00:34:38,000
Speaker 2: They're not interested in that.

623
00:34:39,960 --> 00:34:42,520
Speaker 1: It's the Walls administration and the Democrats in the state

624
00:34:42,560 --> 00:34:45,239
Speaker 1: of Minnesota that aren't interested in it. They cut ties

625
00:34:45,280 --> 00:34:48,319
Speaker 1: with the federal government. He called them the Gestapo. They're

626
00:34:48,360 --> 00:34:52,080
Speaker 1: not out here arbitrarily targeting individuals because of their skin color.

627
00:34:52,080 --> 00:34:54,479
Speaker 1: They're here to uphold the law and that's what they've

628
00:34:54,520 --> 00:34:57,480
Speaker 1: been doing. This brings us to our talk back of

Speaker 1: bring you your talkback of the day.

634
00:35:11,200 --> 00:35:12,879
Speaker 7: It's as simple as this.

635
00:35:14,160 --> 00:35:18,200
Speaker 8: If Tim Waltz was innocent, he would have stayed in

636
00:35:18,280 --> 00:35:19,960
Speaker 8: the race for governor.

637
00:35:21,040 --> 00:35:22,839
Speaker 7: He would have weathered.

638
00:35:22,719 --> 00:35:27,680
Speaker 8: Any storm to stay in that race and proved to

639
00:35:27,840 --> 00:35:32,560
Speaker 8: Minnesotans that he was the right person for the job.

640
00:35:32,680 --> 00:35:35,160
Speaker 1: Now it's in a STU observation and thank you so much.

641
00:35:35,200 --> 00:35:37,000
Speaker 1: You are the talk back of the day, brought to

642
00:35:37,000 --> 00:35:41,759
Speaker 1: you by MINILEAFANMINILEAF dot com. Keeping with immigration, Hilton said

643
00:35:41,760 --> 00:35:44,040
Speaker 1: Tuesday that it's cut ties with the Minnesota hotel that

644
00:35:44,120 --> 00:35:46,560
Speaker 1: was part of its franchise network after the property canceled

645
00:35:46,800 --> 00:35:51,160
Speaker 1: reservations for the federal agents deployed to the Minneapolis area,

646
00:35:51,200 --> 00:35:54,440
Speaker 1: and the hits kept coming because because the General Services

647
00:35:54,880 --> 00:35:59,600
Speaker 1: Administration said it was terminating the Hampton and Lakeville in

648
00:35:59,640 --> 00:36:03,160
Speaker 1: Minneso SOA from its list of approved lodging sites for

649
00:36:03,239 --> 00:36:07,640
Speaker 1: all federal employees. After the hotel refused to accommodate those

650
00:36:07,680 --> 00:36:11,400
Speaker 1: ice agents. It's going to be a large monetary loss

651
00:36:11,400 --> 00:36:14,560
Speaker 1: for them. In the meantime, as Walls was talking about

652
00:36:14,600 --> 00:36:17,920
Speaker 1: in others, we are looking at right now a surge

653
00:36:18,080 --> 00:36:21,160
Speaker 1: in the Department of Homeland Security agents into the Twin Cities.

654
00:36:21,200 --> 00:36:24,400
Speaker 1: And as a matter of fact, Homeland Security Secretary Christy

655
00:36:24,520 --> 00:36:27,680
Speaker 1: Nome was in town yesterday and had this to say

656
00:36:27,680 --> 00:36:28,480
Speaker 1: on Fox News.

657
00:36:29,080 --> 00:36:31,560
Speaker 9: They do the people that are on the streets. You know,

658
00:36:31,600 --> 00:36:34,520
Speaker 9: we surged the last forty eight hours. We've arrested hundreds

659
00:36:34,560 --> 00:36:38,160
Speaker 9: and hundreds of dangerous criminals off the streets in Minnesota

660
00:36:38,239 --> 00:36:40,040
Speaker 9: and people that are part of this fraud scheme.

661
00:36:40,120 --> 00:36:42,160
Speaker 7: So this morning, I left.

662
00:36:42,080 --> 00:36:44,719
Speaker 9: DC at like two am, got to Minnesota in time.

663
00:36:44,760 --> 00:36:48,360
Speaker 9: We arrested a murder, someone who was extorting money in

664
00:36:48,400 --> 00:36:53,279
Speaker 9: other countries, and also sexual assault perpetuators, individuals who were

665
00:36:53,320 --> 00:36:56,640
Speaker 9: attacking children. So we've gotten them off of the streets

666
00:36:56,680 --> 00:36:58,520
Speaker 9: and we did it with no help from Governor Walls,

667
00:36:58,520 --> 00:37:00,879
Speaker 9: no help from the Democrats who are trying to cover

668
00:37:00,920 --> 00:37:03,160
Speaker 9: it up. We've ignored them and done the work that

669
00:37:03,320 --> 00:37:06,680
Speaker 9: President Trump has given us to do. And thank god,

670
00:37:06,680 --> 00:37:08,680
Speaker 9: we have a president that wants to make America safe

671
00:37:08,719 --> 00:37:11,600
Speaker 9: again for every single citizen, regardless of where they live.

672
00:37:12,200 --> 00:37:15,720
Speaker 1: Tomorrow, on the show, Fox nine has a really interesting

673
00:37:15,760 --> 00:37:18,400
Speaker 1: report and I'll share with you the details. This surgeon

674
00:37:18,440 --> 00:37:22,239
Speaker 1: the federal agents has been prompting a ramp up in

675
00:37:22,320 --> 00:37:27,960
Speaker 1: those individuals that want to be constitutional observers to what

676
00:37:28,080 --> 00:37:32,719
Speaker 1: ICE is doing, buying into the propaganda put out by

677
00:37:32,719 --> 00:37:35,359
Speaker 1: individuals like Governor Tim Walls and the Democrats. I'll share

678
00:37:35,400 --> 00:37:38,560
