1 00:00:00,680 --> 00:00:04,960 Speaker 1: So let straight on to the presidents subtle. Yeah, I 2 00:00:05,320 --> 00:00:08,480 Speaker 1: don't like it. It's not good. I heard about it 3 00:00:08,480 --> 00:00:11,639 Speaker 1: this morning, you know, told me about it. President Putin 4 00:00:11,840 --> 00:00:14,040 Speaker 1: told me about it early in the morning. He said 5 00:00:14,040 --> 00:00:18,079 Speaker 1: he was attacked. It's no good, it's no good. Can't 6 00:00:18,120 --> 00:00:20,440 Speaker 1: do it. And I learned about it from President Puttin 7 00:00:20,560 --> 00:00:21,880 Speaker 1: that I was very angry about it. 8 00:00:22,239 --> 00:00:26,480 Speaker 2: You're listening to the forty seven Morning Update with Ben ferguson. 9 00:00:25,960 --> 00:00:28,360 Speaker 3: Good Tuesday morning.

Instead, he says 15 00:00:45,200 --> 00:00:48,120 Speaker 3: he wants to bring in more Somalis into his state. 16 00:00:48,680 --> 00:00:51,760 Speaker 3: We'll have those comments from him and the fallout from 17 00:00:51,800 --> 00:00:56,120 Speaker 3: the federal government in just a moment.

Apparently that's 64 00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:56,240 Speaker 3: already happened this coming out of Seattle. As Tim Walt 65 00:03:56,280 --> 00:04:01,280 Speaker 3: ignores the questions about apologizing to Minnesota over the Somali 66 00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:03,480 Speaker 3: fraud and then listen to what he had to say 67 00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:05,960 Speaker 3: at a luncheon about it as well. 68 00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:09,960 Speaker 1: Dofter walts, what can you say about the latest on 69 00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:13,120 Speaker 1: the Somali fraud that happened under your watch? Have you 70 00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:15,560 Speaker 1: been able to apologize yet to the people of Minnesota 71 00:04:15,600 --> 00:04:18,800 Speaker 1: for allowing this Somali fraud to continue under your watch? 72 00:04:19,080 --> 00:04:21,760 Speaker 1: The people in Minnesota is the time to apologize? How 73 00:04:21,760 --> 00:04:26,840 Speaker 1: about the whistleblowers? Then you have allegedly retaliated against Would 74 00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:29,920 Speaker 1: you like to respond to the whistleblowers? And right how 75 00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:33,320 Speaker 1: our neighbors are being demonized. Our neighbors are being terrorized. 76 00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:34,200 Speaker 3: Our neighbors are. 77 00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:40,640 Speaker 1: The antidote to that is is positive actions to improve 78 00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:43,520 Speaker 1: lives that go against what they're trying to do. So 79 00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:48,360 Speaker 1: instead all weren't to be worth, welcome, orient and welcome human. 80 00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:55,640 Speaker 3: It's still that's right. You just heard the governor of 81 00:04:55,640 --> 00:04:59,400 Speaker 3: Minnesota say. Instead, of cutting programs filled with billions of 82 00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:05,800 Speaker 3: dollars of fraud, We're going to enhance those programs, he said. 83 00:05:05,839 --> 00:05:08,279 Speaker 3: Instead of getting rid of people, we're going to be 84 00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:12,640 Speaker 3: more welcoming. Instead of demonizing our Somali community, We're going 85 00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:18,040 Speaker 3: to be bringing more of them in, welcoming more of 86 00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:23,279 Speaker 3: them in. Why what a governor, after billions of dollars 87 00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:26,240 Speaker 3: of fraud is exposed would say something this out of 88 00:05:26,279 --> 00:05:30,760 Speaker 3: touch with reality. Well, it's very simple. Governor Waltz knows 89 00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:34,080 Speaker 3: that he could not be reelected without the Somali community. 90 00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:37,560 Speaker 3: There is a large voting block, and the Somali community 91 00:05:37,640 --> 00:05:40,960 Speaker 3: votes basically one hundred percent of the time together. It's 92 00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:44,159 Speaker 3: not like normal America. We're fifty percent or conservative and 93 00:05:44,200 --> 00:05:47,520 Speaker 3: fifty percent or liberal, or forty five percent or conservative 94 00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:49,280 Speaker 3: and forty five percent or liberal, and then there's the 95 00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:52,599 Speaker 3: undecideds in the middle. The Somali community, you get all 96 00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:55,960 Speaker 3: of them are virtually none of their vote, and Governor 97 00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:59,160 Speaker 3: Waltz is basically saying, I'm willing to sell out Minnesota's 98 00:05:59,240 --> 00:06:05,000 Speaker 3: taxpayers and federal taxpayers to save the Somali community, putting 99 00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:08,799 Speaker 3: them ahead of American citizens that are being defrauded which 100 00:06:08,839 --> 00:06:12,640 Speaker 3: brings us to the Trump administration's response to this insanity. 101 00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:17,600 Speaker 3: The Department of Homeland Security under Secretary Nome has now 102 00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:22,960 Speaker 3: confirmed that federal Homeland Security agents are actively conducting a 103 00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:28,640 Speaker 3: major fraud investigation in Minneapolis, focusing on the childcare centers 104 00:06:28,640 --> 00:06:33,440 Speaker 3: and other alleged rampant fraud schemes. Agents have been observed 105 00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:36,599 Speaker 3: going door to door at suspected sites as part of 106 00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:40,240 Speaker 3: the probe in the last twenty four hours. The administration 107 00:06:41,480 --> 00:06:45,200 Speaker 3: is portraying the operations part of a broader effort to 108 00:06:45,279 --> 00:06:50,080 Speaker 3: protect federal funds and ensure accountability, framing these activities as 109 00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:55,880 Speaker 3: legitimate law enforcement actions that are expanding and that moves 110 00:06:55,960 --> 00:06:59,960 Speaker 3: us to the FBI. FBI Director Cash Betel has announced 111 00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:05,640 Speaker 3: the Bureau has also surged additional agents and new investigative 112 00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:10,040 Speaker 3: resources to Minnesota at large to investigate what officials are 113 00:07:10,040 --> 00:07:14,720 Speaker 3: describing as a large scale fraud schemes involving federal aid 114 00:07:14,960 --> 00:07:19,080 Speaker 3: programs amounting into the hundreds of millions, if not billions 115 00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:24,280 Speaker 3: of dollars. Director Brittel characterize the known fraud cases as 116 00:07:24,320 --> 00:07:28,640 Speaker 3: possibly the tip of a very large iceberg, referring to 117 00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:33,800 Speaker 3: previous investigations like feeding our future and new leads sparked 118 00:07:33,840 --> 00:07:37,400 Speaker 3: by the recent media attention as well as whistleblowers coming 119 00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:40,840 Speaker 3: forward that also brings us to the US Immigration and 120 00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:44,840 Speaker 3: Customs Enforcement known as ICE. They often work under the 121 00:07:44,880 --> 00:07:48,240 Speaker 3: Department of Homeland Security, and it has been reported that 122 00:07:48,280 --> 00:07:52,520 Speaker 3: they are targeting suspected fraud sites in Minnesota to identify 123 00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:58,240 Speaker 3: and address possible immigration related violations, including checks on legal 124 00:07:58,280 --> 00:08:03,800 Speaker 3: status and inform where applicable. Some news reports are also 125 00:08:03,840 --> 00:08:07,600 Speaker 3: indicating that there have been door to door operations connected 126 00:08:07,760 --> 00:08:12,920 Speaker 3: with the fraud investigation that also involved immigration enforcement elements. 127 00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:16,800 Speaker 3: Specific numbers and targets are in flux, but we will 128 00:08:16,880 --> 00:08:19,880 Speaker 3: keep you updated on when we get the hard numbers. Now, 129 00:08:19,920 --> 00:08:24,320 Speaker 3: all of this has triggered a federal response because of 130 00:08:24,400 --> 00:08:29,920 Speaker 3: the viral social media video showing alleged empty daycare centers 131 00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:36,800 Speaker 3: and nonetheless receiving no significant public information from the governor, 132 00:08:37,040 --> 00:08:41,440 Speaker 3: the Attorney General of Minnesota, or even from the mainstream media. 133 00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:47,640 Speaker 3: Conservative leaders including Ted Cruz, Vice President Vance, have publicly 134 00:08:47,679 --> 00:08:51,240 Speaker 3: praised the video's impact in drawing federal attention to the 135 00:08:51,320 --> 00:08:54,959 Speaker 3: matter as well the FBI and the Department of Home Security. 136 00:08:55,000 --> 00:09:00,559 Speaker 3: Response also blends long standing fraud investigations with new actions 137 00:09:00,640 --> 00:09:05,120 Speaker 3: tied to the recent spotlight on the Minnesota programs, which 138 00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:08,320 Speaker 3: brings us back to the Minnesota Governor, Tim Waltz. He 139 00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:12,680 Speaker 3: is being criticized by federal figures and GOP lawmakers the 140 00:09:12,720 --> 00:09:16,800 Speaker 3: Trump administration, framing the situation as evidence of lacks oversight 141 00:09:17,280 --> 00:09:21,160 Speaker 3: of federal funds, and officials in Minnesota are even angry 142 00:09:21,160 --> 00:09:26,000 Speaker 3: as well, bringing up broader claims emphasizing existing efforts to 143 00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:31,520 Speaker 3: fight fraud, and the whistleblowers were punished by the governor. 144 00:09:32,200 --> 00:09:33,959 Speaker 3: So that brings us to where we are. 145 00:09:34,080 --> 00:09:34,360 Speaker 1: Now. 146 00:09:34,880 --> 00:09:37,120 Speaker 3: What we know is it looks like law and order 147 00:09:37,240 --> 00:09:40,120 Speaker 3: will be restored, even if the governor says we want 148 00:09:40,160 --> 00:09:43,400 Speaker 3: to bring in more Somalis for more fraud, even when 149 00:09:43,400 --> 00:09:47,600 Speaker 3: he says that we're demonizing those that are taking billions 150 00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:51,520 Speaker 3: of dollars away from American citizens. So Governor Waltz can 151 00:09:51,760 --> 00:09:54,640 Speaker 3: hang out on stage and say this is his plan, 152 00:09:55,200 --> 00:09:58,320 Speaker 3: but it's clear that law and order and law enforcement 153 00:09:58,480 --> 00:10:01,120 Speaker 3: is going to take place, and it could even involve 154 00:10:01,360 --> 00:10:04,800 Speaker 3: the governor himself. Now, story number two, there were major 155 00:10:04,880 --> 00:10:08,200 Speaker 3: meetings in Palm Beach at mar Lago between President Trump 156 00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:11,959 Speaker 3: and Benjamin Netan Yahoo as well as Zelenski talking about 157 00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:15,200 Speaker 3: the wars that have been taking place in different parts 158 00:10:15,200 --> 00:10:17,719 Speaker 3: of the world. We'll start first with a meeting with 159 00:10:17,800 --> 00:10:21,800 Speaker 3: Benjamin net Yahoo and there were positive developments, Trump hosting 160 00:10:21,840 --> 00:10:24,960 Speaker 3: the Prime Minister of mar Lago for bilateral talks on 161 00:10:25,040 --> 00:10:28,760 Speaker 3: regional peace as well as security. There was a public 162 00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:32,480 Speaker 3: display of a strong alliance, especially after liberal media outlets 163 00:10:32,520 --> 00:10:35,840 Speaker 3: were claiming that there was major tension between the two leaders. 164 00:10:36,360 --> 00:10:40,360 Speaker 3: Both Trump and net Yahoo projected unity and cultivated a 165 00:10:40,440 --> 00:10:45,199 Speaker 3: positive atmosphere around them, exchanging compliments and emphasizing that US 166 00:10:45,320 --> 00:10:50,600 Speaker 3: Israeli cooperation relations have never been stronger, yet again showing 167 00:10:50,640 --> 00:10:54,480 Speaker 3: that the fake media was lying.
