Speaker 1: Welcome to the Rogue Recap.
Speaker 2: Hot takes, cold facts and zero respect for the official narrative.
Speaker 2: Sit back, roll your eyes, and let's recap rogue style.
Speaker 2: Oh welcome everybody. It is Tuesday, March tenth, to the
Speaker 2: Rogue Recap. So sorry I missed you yesterday. I actually
Speaker 2: was invited to the Broadcasters Foundation of America and they
Speaker 2: were giving out two really big awards I guess actually four,
Speaker 2: but two to people that I'm somewhat familiar with. One
Speaker 2: was Stephen A. Smith. He was awarded Personality of the Year,
Speaker 2: and Judge Judy got a really cool lifetime award. And
Speaker 2: she got up and she gave a speech, and I
Speaker 2: have to say it was pretty interesting. She really is fun.
Speaker 2: That sounds so simple, right, but she just was fun.
Speaker 2: Like she's this little tiny thing. I don't know if
Speaker 2: she even five feet tall, and she's eighty two years old.
Speaker 2: She doesn't look it, and she's just a spitfire. She
Speaker 2: got up and she gave like a funny introduction about
Speaker 2: one of the cases that she had when she was
Speaker 2: on the bench. She actually was a family court judge
Speaker 2: for gosh, I think twenty five years in New York
Speaker 2: family court. So I honestly cannot imagine the things that
Speaker 2: she saw, but just really interesting to see her speak
Speaker 2: talk about what it was like. You know, she mentioned
Speaker 2: that in her like primary and middle school and then
Speaker 2: high school years, she really wasn't that great of a
Speaker 2: student and didn't actually find her footing as far as
Speaker 2: being a student and being a good student for that matter,
Speaker 2: until she until she got to law school, and how
Speaker 2: she just fell in love with the law and it
Speaker 2: just became her life, which I thought was so cool.
Speaker 2: And of course stephen A Steven as a friend. I've
Speaker 2: known stephen A for many years and it was great
Speaker 2: to see him win Personality of the Year. And he
Speaker 2: certainly is a personality and he's ran ubunctious and verbose
Speaker 2: and wild and loud, and that's why people love him.
Speaker 2: And he was very very sweet and kind and you know,
Speaker 2: gave up all his glory to God first and then
Speaker 2: thanked his mother, who passed away some years ago. And
Speaker 2: he was raised in a single family home, so he
Speaker 2: really really like honors everything. It always goes back to
Speaker 2: his mom. But just really nice. But that was why
Speaker 2: I didn't do a podcast yesterday because it was a
Speaker 2: crazy day. And then getting over there, so but really
Speaker 2: fun to be a part of it. Good to see
Speaker 2: lots of folks from many networks left and right in
Speaker 2: the room. So oh, and then one really cool thing.
Speaker 2: They had the saxophone player from Billy Joel who did
Speaker 2: probably like two or three songs and he has His
Speaker 2: name was Mark Rivera and he had a beautiful voice
Speaker 2: very similar to Billy Joel. It was kind of weird
Speaker 2: how much he sounded like him, but I guess, you know,
Speaker 2: he's been touring with him for forty years or something,
Speaker 2: so I think when you tour that often and that
Speaker 2: I guess that frequently was someone for that man decades,
Speaker 2: you start to pick up some things. But it was
Speaker 2: I was like, wow, you really sound like him. But AnyWho,
Speaker 2: here we are Tuesday, and I have to talk about
Speaker 2: something that is getting absolutely no attention. So there was
Speaker 2: a vote in the Senate and the vote was whether
Speaker 2: or not to continue to fund welfare for refugees. And
Speaker 2: we have I truly can't believe I'm going to say this.
Speaker 2: We have all of these senators who are voting to
Speaker 2: continue to fund Somali welfare fraud, and I am like,
Speaker 2: you have got to be kidding me, there's all these
Speaker 2: senators and I'm just going to list them off because
Speaker 2: I think that they should be listed off. And I
Speaker 2: think it's horrible that these are Republican senators, people who
Speaker 2: say that they stand with the president after everything that
Speaker 2: we saw in Minnesota, after everything that we have heard
Speaker 2: from the president, the hearing when they had Governor Walls
Speaker 2: come before them, which we're going to play a little
Speaker 2: bit of that today, and the House Oversight Committee, you know,
Speaker 2: doing these ridiculous excuses for the amount of money laundering
Speaker 2: and fraud that has gone on in this state, specifically
Speaker 2: with regard to quote unquote refugee welfare and how almost
Speaker 2: every single person that's come in from Somalia is on
Speaker 2: some sort of welfare, some sort of you know, government support.
Speaker 2: And these Republicans said, okay, and I want if you
Speaker 2: are listening, please if one of these senators is yours
Speaker 2: two two two two four thirty one twenty one, because
Speaker 2: I am telling you, these people need to hear from you.
Speaker 2: They need to know that your piss off and they
Speaker 2: will continue to do the wrong thing unless the until
Speaker 2: they know we mean business. So people who voted not
Speaker 2: to block this welfare Senator Boozman, Senator Carpedo, Senator Collins,
Speaker 2: Senator Ernst, Senator Fisher, Senator Graham, Senator Grassley, Senator Hyde, Smith,
Speaker 2: Senator Lankfort, Senator McConnell, Big Shock, Senator Moran, Senator Mullen,
Speaker 2: which I am shocked by. Senator mckowski, not shocked, Total Rhino.
Speaker 2: Senator Ricketts, Senator Rounds, Senator Sullivan, Senator Thun, Scumbag, Senator Tillis,
Speaker 2: Senator Wicker, and Senator Young. So now I'm trying to
Speaker 2: understand why in the world would they vote to not
Speaker 2: end welfare for refugees. Why would you vote no on that?
Speaker 2: Do you want to continue to send taxpayer funds to
Speaker 2: Somali quote unquote refugees because these refugees are opening up
Speaker 2: fake businesses. They have almost one hundred percent cases of
Speaker 2: autism in their children. They have fake accounting firms, fake
Speaker 2: hospice care, fake daycares. I mean, who could forget Nick
Speaker 2: Shirley's the Leering Center. I don't get it. What are
Speaker 2: you guys doing? Why would you vote to allow this
Speaker 2: money from hard earned taxpayer dollars? They're hard earned dollars
Speaker 2: if they bust their ass to make Why would you
Speaker 2: give this away, especially people, especially people like Joni Ernst,
Speaker 2: especially people like Mark Wayne Mullen. Why why would you
Speaker 2: allow this to happen? What am I missing? The reason
Speaker 2: that people come here and they live off the system
Speaker 2: is very simple because they can because we allow it.
Speaker 2: Because it doesn't stop. You know, people will only take
Speaker 2: advantage of you as long and as much as you
Speaker 2: allow it to happen. But if you say I'm sorry, yeah,
Speaker 2: we're not giving you that great goodbye. Get out the
Speaker 2: people that are coming here from Somalia, it's called a
Speaker 2: gravy train. They're not driving around and used cars. They're
Speaker 2: driving around in brand new Lamborghinis and Mercedes Benzes. That's
Speaker 2: what we see when we go all the ground to Minnesota,
Speaker 2: and when we go to these businesses that say they're
Speaker 2: X Y and Z, there is no x Y and Z.
Speaker 2: There are closed doors, shuttered windows, and absolutely nothing to
Speaker 2: say for it. So I started doing some research to
Speaker 2: remind everybody, because if you're like me, there's so much
Speaker 2: going on it's hard to remember it all. But I
Speaker 2: just really, I really want to first start with back
Speaker 2: in the beginning of February, Trump had doctor oz go
Speaker 2: and reveal another massive Somali autism fraud scheme, and this
Speaker 2: time it was in Maine. So they went from Minnesota
Speaker 2: to Maine. And so the President explained, he said, autism
Speaker 2: spending served over fifty percent out of nowhere in Maine,
Speaker 2: clustered in these little areas, just like it did in Minnesota.
Speaker 2: So doctor Oz responded, he said, it looks like another
Speaker 2: governor left the cash register unattended. Criminals help themselves to
Speaker 2: your hard earned money. We're going to get to the
Speaker 2: bottom of this. So why is he saying that he's
Speaker 2: going to get to the bottom of it? But our
Speaker 2: senators are saying absolutely not, we don't want to find
Speaker 2: out more. In fact, we want to vote against stopping it.
Speaker 2: Does that make any sense to anybody. It's like we
Speaker 2: have doctor Oz who's the administrator of the Centers for
Speaker 2: Medicare and Medicaid, so he's going to work on it
Speaker 2: so that they can stop committing healthcare fraud. But then
Speaker 2: we have senators saying that's okay, we're going to backdoor
Speaker 2: this money into you. I just don't get it. Take
Speaker 2: a listen to doctor Oz here, you'll see what I mean.
Speaker 3: We might have another Minnesota on our hands. Remember that
Speaker 3: state's program for children with autism, the one where some
Speaker 3: malley frosters set up fake treatment centers and stole millions
Speaker 3: of taxpayer dollars, while the same thing appears to be
Speaker 3: happening in Maine. Two weeks ago, health and Human services
Speaker 3: investigators released a report on Main's autism program in which
Speaker 3: they identified at least forty five million dollars in improper payments.
Speaker 3: But that's not all. They learned that the program's payouts
Speaker 3: increased more than fifty percent in just four years. They
Speaker 3: found that treatment centers are clustered in small geographic areas,
Speaker 3: just like they did in Minnesota. The reviewed paperwork that
Speaker 3: was missing crucial information, like whether the kids receiving these
Speaker 3: services had been properly diagnosed with autism in the first place.
Speaker 3: One hundred percent of the claims they examined had problems,
Speaker 3: and most troubling of all, they discovered that Maine had
Speaker 3: never conducted a statewide review of its autism program. Once again,
Speaker 3: it looks like another governor left the cash register unattended
Speaker 3: and criminals helped themselves to your hard darned money. Rest assured,
Speaker 3: we're going to get to the bottom of this Today,
Speaker 3: we sent a letter to Governor Janet Mills and Main's
Speaker 3: health commissioner, demanding more information about how they're preventing, identifying,
Speaker 3: and remediating fraud in the autism program and other programs
Speaker 3: that have raised red flags. If we don't like what
Speaker 3: we see, CMS will work with Maine to put their
Speaker 3: house in order, and if we're not satisfied with their progress,
Speaker 3: we reserve the right to cut off payments entirely. That's
Speaker 3: what it means to fight fraud, preserve program integrity, and
Speaker 3: protect your taxpayer dollars. And that's what we'll keep doing
Speaker 3: every single day here at.
Speaker 2: CMS produced by the US Department of Health and Human Services.
Speaker 2: So there we have doctor Oz making it very very
Speaker 2: clear that he is going to do the right thing.
Speaker 2: He's going to make sure that our taxpayer dollars are
Speaker 2: not being used to aid defraud the American people, not
Speaker 2: be able to pay thanks for our veterans and our
Speaker 2: elderly and truly six people that need to be on
Speaker 2: Medicaid and Medicare, and instead be used as a primary
Speaker 2: healthcare supplement for people that are here as quote unquote
Speaker 2: refugees living off of welfare and using these services which
Speaker 2: are not intended for them. This is the type of
Speaker 2: stuff that we as American people should expect and deserve.
Speaker 2: But then we have these senators who unfortunately think that
Speaker 2: they have the right to give our taxpayer dollars over
Speaker 2: to these things. I'm telling you, guys two two two
Speaker 2: two four thirty one, twenty one. And remember we just
Speaker 2: had about a week ago with a Third World Somali pirate.
Speaker 2: He pled guilty to six million dollars in Minnesota in
Speaker 2: an autism center fraud scheme. He was twenty two years old.
Speaker 2: Last name is Yusuf. So you're telling me now that
Speaker 2: this guy is twenty two years old, he's a millionaire
Speaker 2: here in America, and he's a refugee. Give me a break.
Speaker 2: Come on, guys. This is the stuff that is just
Speaker 2: a bridge too far. And when we look back and
Speaker 2: we think about the testimony of Governor Walls before the
Speaker 2: House Oversight Committee, some interesting facts were pointed out to him,
Speaker 2: and I'll highlight them and then i'll play another clip
Speaker 2: from this hearing just so that you can really just
Speaker 2: take in the numbers. Fifty four percent of Somalis are
Speaker 2: on food stamps, eighty one percent have a family member.
Speaker 2: I'm medicaid. Eighty seven percent of those charged in the
Speaker 2: Minnesota fraud scheme are Somali. So it's not like we're
Speaker 2: looking outside and trying to figure out, oh, well, who
Speaker 2: could possibly be guilty of this? We know who's guilty,
Speaker 2: we know where they're from, we know what they're doing,
Speaker 2: we have all the proof, it's all in writing. But
Speaker 2: these Republican senators still decided to send your money over.
Speaker 2: Why would you not stop that gravy train? Does that
Speaker 2: make any sense to anybody? I'm going to play some
Speaker 2: of this so you can hear this, because it is truly.
Speaker 2: This clip's about two minutes, but it is. It's insane
Speaker 2: how ridiculous it is, and Walsh tries to defend it.
Speaker 1: For Walt, do you believe the seventy thousand strong Somali
Speaker 1: community as a whole has made a positive impact on
Speaker 1: your state? I do, so you'd be the opinion fair
Speaker 1: to say that the smaller community has successfully assimilated and
Speaker 1: is making Minnesota better.
Speaker 4: Yeah. I believe they're on that path.
Speaker 1: Yes, I'm just curious by what metric you'd come to
Speaker 1: that conclusion. I just looked at some hard data and
Speaker 1: do you have any idea what percentage of the native
Speaker 1: born Minnesota's all races live in poverty in your state
Speaker 1: right now? I don't have specifically, I'll share it with
Speaker 1: it's eight percent. For the smaller community, it's fifty two percent.
Speaker 1: How about receiving food stamps? Dontor right, I'll run it
Speaker 1: down with you at seven percent and then in the
Speaker 1: compared to fifty four percent in the Smalley community, and
Speaker 1: then don't have it, don't have at least a high
Speaker 1: school diploma. For all Minnesotas, it's five percent. Smile of
Speaker 1: community's thirty nine percent one family member at least on Medicaid.
Speaker 1: It's eighteen percent for Minnesota, seventy three percent for the
Speaker 1: Smiley community. And receiving welfare of some form it's twenty
Speaker 1: one percent, and it's eighty one percent for the Somali community.
Speaker 1: And you, governor, do you having to know what the
Speaker 1: percentages of all those who have currently been charged in
Speaker 1: this staggering social services fraud scheme were native born Minnesota's
Speaker 1: one percentage?
Speaker 4: I do not have that.
Speaker 1: I think it was eighty five and eight, which comes
Speaker 1: out to thirteen percent Minnesota and eighty seven percent Somali Minnesotan.
Speaker 1: So I think this is an instance perhaps where we'll
Speaker 1: gets slept by data a governor. There's been billions stolen
Speaker 1: over seven plus years, right under your nose. And really
Speaker 1: there's only two explanations. It's either you were in on
Speaker 1: it or you weren't smart enough to to see it.
Speaker 1: It's either criminal negligence or wild incompetence. And the only
Speaker 1: way this kind of fraud can reach this scale is
Speaker 1: if there's people in power that are colluding and collaborating
Speaker 1: and willfully blinding themselves to the realities around them and
Speaker 1: in oversight. When we do investigations, it's rare for us
Speaker 1: to have whistleblowers because it's they face retribution and punishment
Speaker 1: and resentment, and they can be ostracized, and it's difficult
Speaker 1: and it's uncomfortable, and sometimes it's even dangerous. So when
Speaker 1: we have an when we're having investigation and we have
Speaker 1: even a couple of whistleblowers, it's very valuable to us
Speaker 1: because they provide invaluable insight. Do you have any idea
Speaker 1: how many whistleblowers are working from Minnesota or working with
Speaker 1: the OVERSEC Committee?
Speaker 4: I do not.
Speaker 3: We have our own strong protections in the ola, the industl.
Speaker 1: It's thirty. I mean, I haven't seen that in five
Speaker 1: plus years in Congress. Thirty governor on September sixteenth, twenty twenty.
Speaker 2: So let's just think about that. Not only did Congressman
Speaker 2: Pat Fallen just completely crush him, but he also pointed
Speaker 2: out something very interesting, which he said, thirty nine percent
Speaker 2: of those refugees currently getting your tax dollars do not
Speaker 2: even have a high school diploma. What does that mean
Speaker 2: for American communities? If you're bringing people in and the
Speaker 2: goal is to have them come to America and live
Speaker 2: the American way, how can they do that if they
Speaker 2: have no education. And I'm not saying they had to
Speaker 2: go to college. I'm just saying you got to finish,
Speaker 2: you know, at least primary in high school. Right, So
Speaker 2: you're coming to this country, you probably don't speak the language,
Speaker 2: and you're living off of the system, and then you
Speaker 2: find a way through a loophole of people that have
Speaker 2: been here before you and with the help I'm sure
Speaker 2: of people within certain how should I say the halls
Speaker 2: of government that are more interested in empowering these communities
Speaker 2: than in protecting American interests and we'll leave that there.
Speaker 2: But I think you know what I mean. If we
Speaker 2: follow the paper trails, I do believe that eventually it
Speaker 2: will uncover a lot of the nefarious actions of people
Speaker 2: that should be protecting taxpayers and are instead doling out
Speaker 2: cash to quote unquote refugees. And I keep saying quote
Speaker 2: unquote because they're not refugees. They just know there's a
Speaker 2: lottery ticket. They want to play their hands. How can
Speaker 2: I blame them? We're not stopping it. We have all
Speaker 2: these Republican senators saying, yes, let's keep doing it. Why
Speaker 2: it's bad enough. We have control of the House, control
Speaker 2: of the Senate, we have control of the executive branch,
Speaker 2: and we cannot get a single thing passed that we
Speaker 2: put President Trump in office for. We still don't have
Speaker 2: all the Epstein files, We still don't have election integrity,
Speaker 2: We still don't have safeguard so that when the midterms come,
Speaker 2: we know that our vote matters and we know there
Speaker 2: aren't millions of illegal aliens voting in it. And then
Speaker 2: the other point is we have to know that our
Speaker 2: votes actually count, are not going to be adjudicated in
Speaker 2: back rooms, which some of these election software companies allow
Speaker 2: So if they get to go in and say, oh,
Speaker 2: I couldn't understand what her ballots said, or I couldn't
Speaker 2: understand what that meant, is that right? Is that fair?
Speaker 4: No?
Speaker 2: Of course not. But these are the things that happened
Speaker 2: in the last couple of elections, and now we're actually
Speaker 2: getting information out about that. So I think it makes
Speaker 2: a lot of sense for us to be sincerely concerned
Speaker 2: because if we don't have the Save Act and we're
Speaker 2: not protecting taxpayers, and the only people speaking out about
Speaker 2: the fraud are people like doctor Oz or President Trump
Speaker 2: or RFK who are going state to state, and then
Speaker 2: we have people like Nick Sorter and like Nick Shirley
Speaker 2: that are trying to find out the answers, and James
Speaker 2: O'Keefe for that matter. But we're not getting to the
Speaker 2: heart of the issue, which is people in the Senate
Speaker 2: on our side of the aisle are sending money to refugees.
Speaker 2: We got veterans homeless on the street, we got kids
Speaker 2: in foster care getting abused. So we do not have
Speaker 2: answers on our elections, and we're sending money to Somolians.
Speaker 2: What the hell is going on? I want you to
Speaker 2: listen to our Treasury Secretary Scott Bessen. He made this
Speaker 2: comment about the Somali fraud and what he plans to
Speaker 2: do to those agencies and two people that have aided
Speaker 2: and embedded this kind of fraud. Take a listen to.
Speaker 5: This Treasuries Financial Crimes Enforcement network for whistleblowers that can
Speaker 5: actually be compensated if they come forward. Why wasn't this
Speaker 5: done before? It seems seems like a no brainer.
Speaker 4: I don't know, Joe, but it's very exciting. I think
Speaker 4: it's going to be a great way to ferret out waste,
Speaker 4: fraud and abuse, starting in Minneapolis, which has been ground zero.
Speaker 4: So we are encouraging whistleblowers who know about fraud people
Speaker 4: are stealing from the American taxpayer to come forward. At Treasury.
Speaker 4: We're setting up a website and we will be giving
Speaker 4: rewards up to ten to thirty percent of the fines
Speaker 4: that we levied.
Speaker 2: So this guy is offering rewards for whistleblowers to turn
Speaker 2: in people that are committing fraud. Again, I repeat, we
Speaker 2: had about fifteen senators there go ahead and vote against
Speaker 2: American interests to allow our tax dollars to be given
Speaker 2: to the same people that our Treasury Secretary and our
Speaker 2: CMS administrator are saying, we're going to turn around and
Speaker 2: we're going to find you and we are going to
Speaker 2: crush this. I mean, can we get our shit together, guys?
Speaker 2: Series It is absolutely it is so infuriating, honestly to
Speaker 2: be a part of this time in politics, because the
Speaker 2: opportunity is in front of us and we are losing
Speaker 2: it every single day instead of doing what works, instead
Speaker 2: of doing what helps Americans, we are allowing our money
Speaker 2: to go over to these special interest groups and to
Speaker 2: these fake refugees and allowing it to completely and totally
Speaker 2: help these people to make more money by doing nothing
Speaker 2: when they're able, bodied and capable, and quite frankly, most
Speaker 2: of them should not be here under refugee status. But
Speaker 2: this is what's happening. And I can't even blame the Democrats.
Speaker 2: I have to blame these Republicans. So just as a closer,
Speaker 2: let's remember big losers of today, Big big losers Twusban Collins,
Speaker 2: Ernst Fisher, Graham, Grassley, Hyde, Smith, Langford, McConnell, Moran, Mullen, Murkowski,
Speaker 2: Rickets Round, Sullivan, fun Tillis, Wicker and Young. You guys
Speaker 2: really suck today, I hope you know how much you
Speaker 2: have let the American people down and how much we're
Speaker 2: going to remember when it comes time to put you
Speaker 2: back in office. I hope it was worth it. I
Speaker 2: hope you enjoyed this. You are listening to the Rogue Recap.
