1 00:00:01,760 --> 00:00:05,200 Speaker 1: Trump administration is now actively re examining all of the 2 00:00:05,240 --> 00:00:09,320 Speaker 1: Afghans imported into the country by Joe Biden. Any individual 3 00:00:09,360 --> 00:00:13,400 Speaker 1: who threatens our national security or our citizenry will be 4 00:00:13,440 --> 00:00:17,760 Speaker 1: subject to removal. President Trump has already permanently paused migration 5 00:00:17,880 --> 00:00:20,599 Speaker 1: of foreign nationals from third world countries that pose a 6 00:00:20,800 --> 00:00:22,760 Speaker 1: very high risk to the United States. 7 00:00:23,079 --> 00:00:27,240 Speaker 2: You're listening to the forty seven Morning Update with Ben ferguson. 8 00:00:26,760 --> 00:00:28,920 Speaker 3: Good Tuesday morning.

It's the forty seven Morning Update and 47 00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:56,720 Speaker 3: it starts right now. 48 00:02:56,880 --> 00:02:57,880 Speaker 2: Story number one. 49 00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:03,440 Speaker 3: Hundreds of Minnesota government workers have now accused the state's 50 00:03:03,639 --> 00:03:08,160 Speaker 3: leftist radical governor, former VP kenn At Tim Walls, of 51 00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:14,680 Speaker 3: being responsible for the biggest fraud case in the state's history. 52 00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:18,480 Speaker 3: What is Tim Waltz saying about it? Oh, well, he's 53 00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:22,040 Speaker 3: saying Donald Trump is insane and he wants his MRI 54 00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:27,000 Speaker 3: release switched. The President did now. The statement came from 55 00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:31,640 Speaker 3: over four hundred individuals in the Minnesota Department of Health 56 00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:36,560 Speaker 3: and Human Services employees, and the group claimed that it 57 00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:40,240 Speaker 3: alerted Governor Tim Waltz, the Democrat in charge, to the 58 00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:43,360 Speaker 3: fraud in the early stages of its discovery, but he 59 00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:48,320 Speaker 3: allegedly retaliated against the whistleblowers. The statement they put out 60 00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:51,720 Speaker 3: said this, Tim Waltz is one hundred percent responsible for 61 00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:54,960 Speaker 3: massive fraud of Minnesota. We let Tim Waltz know of 62 00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:58,560 Speaker 3: fraud early on, hoping for a partnership and stopping fraud, 63 00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:03,880 Speaker 3: but no, we got the opposite response. Governor Waltz systematically 64 00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:09,720 Speaker 3: retaliate against the whistleblowers, using monitoring threats, repression, and did 65 00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:13,920 Speaker 3: his best to discredit fraud reports. Instead of partnership, we 66 00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:17,799 Speaker 3: got the full weight of retaliation by Tim Waltz, certain 67 00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:24,640 Speaker 3: DFL members, and an indifferent mainstream media. It's scary, isolating, 68 00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:28,320 Speaker 3: and left us wondering who can we turn to. In 69 00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:34,240 Speaker 3: addition to retaliating against whistleblowers, Tim Waltz disempowered the Office 70 00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:40,440 Speaker 3: of Legislative Auditor, allowing agencies to disregard their audit findings 71 00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:46,400 Speaker 3: and their guidance. Media and politicians supporting Tim Waltz or 72 00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:51,240 Speaker 3: the DFL agenda attacked the whistleblowers who are trying to 73 00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:55,640 Speaker 3: raise red flags on the fraudulent activities. The New York 74 00:04:55,680 --> 00:04:58,559 Speaker 3: Times even has a headline now that says how fraud 75 00:04:58,640 --> 00:05:05,280 Speaker 3: swamp Minnesota's social services system on Tim Waltz's watch. Prosecutors 76 00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:10,080 Speaker 3: say members of the Somali diaspora, a group with growing 77 00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:14,680 Speaker 3: political power, were largely responsible. President Trump has drawn national 78 00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:18,840 Speaker 3: intention to the scandal amid his crackdown on immigration. Now again, 79 00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:21,400 Speaker 3: when I just read you, is from the actual New 80 00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:25,039 Speaker 3: York Times. Not only that, but a damning quote on 81 00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:28,520 Speaker 3: Tim waltz failure to stop the fraud consuming Minnesota quote. 82 00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:33,720 Speaker 3: No one was doing anything about the red flags. It 83 00:05:33,760 --> 00:05:36,120 Speaker 3: was like someone was stealing money from the cookie jar, 84 00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:39,599 Speaker 3: and they kept refilling it. That is again a line 85 00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:43,520 Speaker 3: from the New York Times article. Now, Somali's in Minnesota 86 00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:47,960 Speaker 3: allegedly took millions and millions and millions of dollars in 87 00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:52,520 Speaker 3: state Medicaid autism care programs. We talked about this recently 88 00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:55,480 Speaker 3: on this show, and then they sent it to their 89 00:05:55,560 --> 00:06:00,440 Speaker 3: native country and its terrorist organizations. Again, thing that you 90 00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:03,360 Speaker 3: knew about weeks ago if you listen to this show. 91 00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:08,200 Speaker 3: Breitbart News even report in July that nearly one hundred 92 00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:12,920 Speaker 3: autism clinics in Minnesota were being investigated for fraudulently billing 93 00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:17,760 Speaker 3: Medicaid for treatment of children supposedly diagnosed with autism, most 94 00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:20,680 Speaker 3: of it in connection with the rampantly corrupt Somali community 95 00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:24,599 Speaker 3: around Minneapolis. But the fraud is far more widespread, with 96 00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:28,359 Speaker 3: far more money involved than was previously reported, all of 97 00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:34,360 Speaker 3: which has been something that the governor, Tim Waltz knew about. 98 00:06:34,839 --> 00:06:39,360 Speaker 3: The House majority whipp Tom Emmer, a Republican from Minnesota, 99 00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:42,600 Speaker 3: has since called for an investigation to the millions of 100 00:06:42,680 --> 00:06:47,520 Speaker 3: tax payer dollars state taxpayer money literally going directly to 101 00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:51,160 Speaker 3: a terrorist group linked to al Qaeda known as Al Shabbab, 102 00:06:51,560 --> 00:06:55,359 Speaker 3: again something we expose on this show. And despite the 103 00:06:55,400 --> 00:06:59,200 Speaker 3: evidence of fraud, State Democrats have continued to support the 104 00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:04,000 Speaker 3: Somali community why because they need their votes now. In 105 00:07:04,040 --> 00:07:08,320 Speaker 3: its post on X on Saturday, the Minnesota DHS continued 106 00:07:08,360 --> 00:07:13,200 Speaker 3: criticizing the governor, stating, quote Fundamentally, Tim Waltz is dishonest, 107 00:07:13,760 --> 00:07:17,520 Speaker 3: lax ethics and integrity, has poor leadership abilities, and has 108 00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:21,560 Speaker 3: never taken any accountability for his role in this fraud 109 00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:26,240 Speaker 3: where tax hours went directly to terrorists, which brings us 110 00:07:26,280 --> 00:07:30,240 Speaker 3: to the media. Halfway covering this, NBC News on Meet 111 00:07:30,280 --> 00:07:33,040 Speaker 3: the Press had Tim Waltz on on Sunday and I 112 00:07:33,080 --> 00:07:36,080 Speaker 3: want you to listen to how softbally they were with him, 113 00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:38,760 Speaker 3: and how they let Tim Waltz in essence not answer 114 00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:43,280 Speaker 3: the question and somehow go back to attacking Donald Trump 115 00:07:43,640 --> 00:07:45,840 Speaker 3: when the fraud that has taken place in a state 116 00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:48,800 Speaker 3: was helping terrorists organizations. 117 00:07:48,920 --> 00:07:53,480 Speaker 4: Listen carefully well, speaking of the smaller community, President Trump 118 00:07:54,280 --> 00:07:57,480 Speaker 4: is targeting them and your state and party, citing fraud 119 00:07:57,560 --> 00:08:00,920 Speaker 4: is the reason for his crackdown. Does of people of 120 00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:04,800 Speaker 4: East African descent have been charged, convicted, and sentenced for 121 00:08:04,840 --> 00:08:08,200 Speaker 4: stealing more than a billion dollars in taxpayer money from 122 00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:12,120 Speaker 4: government programs during COVID, As you know, Governor, that is 123 00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:15,160 Speaker 4: more than Minnesota spends each year to run its Department 124 00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:16,800 Speaker 4: of Corrections. So I want to give you a chance 125 00:08:16,840 --> 00:08:21,160 Speaker 4: to respond to this. Do you take responsibility for failing 126 00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:22,679 Speaker 4: to stop this fraud in your state? 127 00:08:23,240 --> 00:08:26,000 Speaker 5: Well, certainly I take responsibility for putting people in jail. 128 00:08:26,280 --> 00:08:29,600 Speaker 5: Governors don't get to just talk theoretically. We have to 129 00:08:29,640 --> 00:08:32,800 Speaker 5: solve problems. And I will note it's not just Somali's. 130 00:08:32,960 --> 00:08:36,120 Speaker 5: Minnesota is a generous state. Minnesota's a prosperous days, a 131 00:08:36,160 --> 00:08:38,840 Speaker 5: well run state or triple A bond rated. But that 132 00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:42,040 Speaker 5: attracts criminals. Those people are going to jail. We're doing 133 00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:44,880 Speaker 5: everything we can, but to demonize an entire community on 134 00:08:44,920 --> 00:08:48,040 Speaker 5: the actions of a few, it's lazy. And as you 135 00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:51,480 Speaker 5: heard Senator Kelly say, this president has cut a lot 136 00:08:51,520 --> 00:08:54,280 Speaker 5: of inspector generals. He's cut programs that could help us 137 00:08:54,320 --> 00:08:56,920 Speaker 5: tackle us on. So we are, we'll take it on. 138 00:08:57,080 --> 00:08:58,800 Speaker 5: We'll put folks in jail. I don't care what your 139 00:08:58,880 --> 00:09:01,640 Speaker 5: nationality is. I don't care your religion is your color, 140 00:09:01,880 --> 00:09:05,000 Speaker 5: if you're committing crimes. These are programs that were meant 141 00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:09,720 Speaker 5: to serve students with autism, to housing, and to making 142 00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:12,320 Speaker 5: sure people had enough to eat. There's a reason Minnesota 143 00:09:12,440 --> 00:09:15,680 Speaker 5: ranks as the top lowest childhood poverty, best place for 144 00:09:15,800 --> 00:09:18,360 Speaker 5: children to live. People are taking advantage that they're going 145 00:09:18,400 --> 00:09:22,080 Speaker 5: to prison. That is totally disconnected with demonizing an entire 146 00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:24,959 Speaker 5: group of people who came here fleeing civil war and 147 00:09:25,040 --> 00:09:28,600 Speaker 5: created a vibrant community that makes Minnesota in this country better. 148 00:09:28,679 --> 00:09:32,640 Speaker 5: But that's Donald Trump deflect, demonized, come up with no solutions. 149 00:09:32,640 --> 00:09:35,640 Speaker 5: He's not going to help fix anything. On fraud, my god, 150 00:09:35,640 --> 00:09:38,480 Speaker 5: there's a big difference between fraud and corruption, and corruption 151 00:09:38,640 --> 00:09:41,320 Speaker 5: is something he knows about well. Governor. 152 00:09:41,880 --> 00:09:45,760 Speaker 3: You notice she didn't interdrupt him one time. She let 153 00:09:45,840 --> 00:09:48,760 Speaker 3: him put out the lives and the propaganda. He talks 154 00:09:48,800 --> 00:09:51,040 Speaker 3: about people getting arrested when he was the one allowing 155 00:09:51,080 --> 00:09:56,119 Speaker 3: the money, and the whistleblowers were targeted. Four hundred workers 156 00:09:56,160 --> 00:10:00,280 Speaker 3: have now come out against the governor. Why did did 157 00:10:00,679 --> 00:10:05,760 Speaker 3: he not act? It's very clear he needs the Somali votes. 158 00:10:06,160 --> 00:10:09,760 Speaker 3: The Democratic Party has sold their soul to the Somali 159 00:10:09,880 --> 00:10:14,600 Speaker 3: voting block in Minnesota, and it's a large voting block, 160 00:10:14,840 --> 00:10:18,000 Speaker 3: make no mistake about it. And so he was willing 161 00:10:18,120 --> 00:10:21,920 Speaker 3: to look the other way while the fraud was happening 162 00:10:22,480 --> 00:10:26,880 Speaker 3: because he thought it was worth it politically. What's scary 163 00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:29,520 Speaker 3: is that guy was very close to becoming the vice 164 00:10:29,520 --> 00:10:32,200 Speaker 3: president of the United States of America. And what's even 165 00:10:32,280 --> 00:10:34,480 Speaker 3: more damning about what I just told you is the 166 00:10:34,520 --> 00:10:38,120 Speaker 3: fact that they knew where the money was going. It 167 00:10:38,240 --> 00:10:42,839 Speaker 3: was going to terrace, the money was leaving the country. 168 00:10:43,360 --> 00:10:47,040 Speaker 3: The number of students that had autism in the Somali 169 00:10:47,080 --> 00:10:52,840 Speaker 3: community was absolutely insane compared to the rest of the world. 170 00:10:53,400 --> 00:10:57,720 Speaker 3: The statistics showed that there was a huge fraud.
