1
00:00:01,720 --> 00:00:04,280
Speaker 1: Molly. I don't follow Minnesota politics like I should, but

2
00:00:04,320 --> 00:00:06,480
Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure they have a Democrat governor. I'm pretty

3
00:00:06,519 --> 00:00:09,119
Speaker 1: sure they have a Democrat attorney general. I'm pretty sure

4
00:00:09,160 --> 00:00:12,560
Speaker 1: the House and the senou to run by Democrats in Minnesota.

5
00:00:12,880 --> 00:00:16,119
Speaker 1: I mean, look, they would blame Baldos O'dnald Tulpe that

6
00:00:16,160 --> 00:00:18,240
Speaker 1: they can get away with it, and within their base

7
00:00:18,360 --> 00:00:22,800
Speaker 1: they can get away with it. Unfortunately, that Minnesota wallmaker

8
00:00:23,280 --> 00:00:26,480
Speaker 1: you just played a clip of, she'd have a hard time.

9
00:00:26,480 --> 00:00:28,480
Speaker 1: Passenger driver says in South Carolina.

10
00:00:28,880 --> 00:00:32,520

Speaker 4: this week on the forty seven Morning Update. First up,

15
00:00:41,440 --> 00:00:45,560
Speaker 4: Governor Tim Waltz breaks his silence in the fraud scheme

16
00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:49,200
Speaker 4: in Minnesota. What he said is going to shock you.

17
00:00:49,520 --> 00:00:52,640
Speaker 4: He's not holding those accountable who come in the fraud. Instead,

18
00:00:52,680 --> 00:00:55,320
Speaker 4: he says he wants to bring in more Somali's into

19
00:00:55,360 --> 00:00:58,880
Speaker 4: his state. Will have those comments from him and the

20
00:00:58,960 --> 00:01:02,760
Speaker 4: fallout from the federal government in just a moment. Also,

21
00:01:03,120 --> 00:01:07,280
Speaker 4: President Trump in mar Lago, having two major meetings, one

Speaker 4: with Netan Yahoo as report surface that Iran is working

23
00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:14,320
Speaker 4: on chemical and biological warheads, and then also meeting with

24
00:01:14,440 --> 00:01:17,160
Speaker 4: Zelensky and talking with Vladimir Putin.

25
00:01:17,640 --> 00:01:19,880

Speaker 2: Story number one.

64
00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:39,280
Speaker 4: Fallout after the viral video showing widespread fraud in Minnesota

65
00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:43,440
Speaker 4: doesn't seem to be stopping the governor Tim Waltz from

66
00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:47,200
Speaker 4: doing what he does best standing with a Somali community.

67
00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:51,680
Speaker 4: Not only is he refusing to answer questions from the media,

68
00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:55,480
Speaker 4: he's now saying he wants to bring more Somalians into

69
00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:59,400
Speaker 4: Minnesota to back up the fraud and abuse. Apparently that's

70
00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:03,560
Speaker 4: already happened this coming out of Seattle as Tim waalt

71
00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:08,480
Speaker 4: ignores the questions about apologizing to Minnesota over the Somali

72
00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:10,920
Speaker 4: fraud and then listen to what he had to say at.

73
00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:12,800
Speaker 3: A luncheon about it as well.

74
00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:16,080
Speaker 5: Doctor Walls, what can you say about the latest on

75
00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:19,240
Speaker 5: the Somali fraud that happened under your watch? Have you

76
00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:21,640
Speaker 5: been able to apologize yet to the people of Minnesota

77
00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:24,760
Speaker 5: for allowing this Somali fraud to continue under.

78
00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:26,160
Speaker 3: Your watcher of the people of Minnesota?

79
00:04:26,279 --> 00:04:29,560
Speaker 5: Is the time to apologize? How about the whistleblowers, then

80
00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:33,800
Speaker 5: you have allegedly retaliated against. Would you like to respond

81
00:04:33,839 --> 00:04:35,880
Speaker 5: to the whistleblowers and how our.

82
00:04:35,839 --> 00:04:39,200
Speaker 6: Neighbors are being demonized, our neighbors are being teradzed, our

83
00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:45,200
Speaker 6: namers would be the antidote to that is is possibive

84
00:04:45,279 --> 00:04:48,919
Speaker 6: actions to improve live that go gainst what they're trying

85
00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:53,160
Speaker 6: to do. So instead to be worth welcome, orient and

86
00:04:53,279 --> 00:04:55,720
Speaker 6: welcome Desta.

87
00:04:58,400 --> 00:04:58,880
Speaker 3: That's right.

88
00:04:59,160 --> 00:05:01,719
Speaker 4: You just heard the govenor of Minnesota say, instead of

89
00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:05,680
Speaker 4: cutting programs filled with billions of dollars of fraud, we're

90
00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:08,880
Speaker 4: going to enhance those programs.

91
00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:09,679
Speaker 3: He said.

92
00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:12,159
Speaker 4: Instead of getting rid of people, we're going to be

93
00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:16,279
Speaker 4: more welcoming. Instead of demonizing our Somali community, we're going

94
00:05:16,360 --> 00:05:21,360
Speaker 4: to be bringing more of them in, welcoming more of

95
00:05:21,400 --> 00:05:25,760
Speaker 4: them in. Why what a governor after billions of dollars

96
00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:28,719
Speaker 4: of fraud is exposed would say something this out of

97
00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:32,600
Speaker 4: touch with reality. Well, it's very simple. Governor Waltz knows

98
00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:35,920
Speaker 4: that he could not be reelected without the Somali community.

99
00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:38,960
Speaker 4: There is a large voting block, and the Somali community

100
00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:42,000
Speaker 4: votes basically one hundred percent of the time together. It's

101
00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:45,200
Speaker 4: not like normal America. We're fifty percent or conservative and

102
00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:48,560
Speaker 4: fifty percent or liberal, or forty five percent or conservative

103
00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:50,320
Speaker 4: and forty five percent or liberal. And then there's the

104
00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:53,320
Speaker 4: undecideds in the middle. The Somali community, you get all

105
00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:56,440
Speaker 4: of them are virtually none of their vote and Governor

106
00:05:56,480 --> 00:05:59,640
Speaker 4: Waltz is basically saying, I'm willing to sell out Minnesota's

107
00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:05,240
Speaker 4: tax and federal taxpayers to save the Somali community, putting

108
00:06:05,279 --> 00:06:08,760
Speaker 4: them ahead of American citizens that are being defrauded, which

109
00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:12,599
Speaker 4: brings us to the Trump administration's response to this insanity.

110
00:06:12,839 --> 00:06:17,239
Speaker 4: The Department of Homeland Security under Secretary Nome has now

111
00:06:17,279 --> 00:06:22,359
Speaker 4: confirmed that federal Homeland Security agents are actively conducting a

112
00:06:22,520 --> 00:06:27,839
Speaker 4: major fraud investigation in Minneapolis, focusing on the childcare centers

113
00:06:27,880 --> 00:06:32,400
Speaker 4: and other alleged rampant fraud schemes. Agents have been observed

114
00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:35,520
Speaker 4: going door to door at suspected sites as part of

115
00:06:35,560 --> 00:06:38,920
Speaker 4: the probe in the last twenty four hours. The administration

116
00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:43,039
Speaker 4: is portraying the operations part of a broader effort to

117
00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:47,640
Speaker 4: protect federal funds and ensure accountability, framing these activities as

118
00:06:47,880 --> 00:06:52,799
Speaker 4: legitimate law enforcement actions that are expanding and that moves

119
00:06:52,839 --> 00:06:56,960
Speaker 4: us to the FBI. FBI Director Cash betel Is announced

120
00:06:56,960 --> 00:07:01,800
Speaker 4: that the Bureau has also surged additional agents and new

121
00:07:01,839 --> 00:07:06,760
Speaker 4: investigative resources to Minnesota at large to investigate what officials

122
00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:11,239
Speaker 4: are describing as a large scale fraud schemes involving federal

123
00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:15,440
Speaker 4: aid programs. Amounting into the hundreds of millions, if not

124
00:07:15,560 --> 00:07:20,080
Speaker 4: billions of dollars. Director Brittel characterize the known fraud cases

125
00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:24,720
Speaker 4: as possibly the tip of a very large iceberg, referring

126
00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:29,160
Speaker 4: to previous investigations like Feeding Our Future and new leads

127
00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:32,920
Speaker 4: sparked by the recent media attention as well as whistleblowers

128
00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:36,200
Speaker 4: coming forward that also brings us to the US Immigration

129
00:07:36,320 --> 00:07:39,920
Speaker 4: and Customs Enforcement known as ICE. They often work under

130
00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:43,320
Speaker 4: the Department of Homeland Security, and it has been reported

131
00:07:43,360 --> 00:07:46,720
Speaker 4: that they are targeting suspected fraud sites in Minnesota to

132
00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:52,760
Speaker 4: identify and address possible immigration related violations, including checks on

133
00:07:52,840 --> 00:07:56,520
Speaker 4: legal status and enforcement where applicable.

134
00:07:56,920 --> 00:07:58,680
Speaker 3: Some news reports are also.

135
00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:02,280
Speaker 4: Indicating that there have been door to door operations connected

136
00:08:02,440 --> 00:08:07,600
Speaker 4: with the fraud investigation that also involved immigration enforcement elements.

137
00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:11,120
Speaker 4: Specific numbers and targets are in flux, but we will

138
00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:14,000
Speaker 4: keep you updated on when we get the hard numbers. Now,

139
00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:18,400
Speaker 4: all of this has triggered a federal response because of

140
00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:23,760
Speaker 4: the viral social media video showing alleged empty daycare centers

141
00:08:24,040 --> 00:08:30,360
Speaker 4: and nonetheless receiving no significant public information from the governor,

142
00:08:30,600 --> 00:08:34,760
Speaker 4: the Attorney General of Minnesota, or even from the mainstream media.

143
00:08:35,120 --> 00:08:40,680
Speaker 4: Conservative leaders including Ted Cruz, Vice President Vance, have publicly

144
00:08:40,720 --> 00:08:44,320
Speaker 4: praised the video's impact in drawing federal attention to the

145
00:08:44,400 --> 00:08:48,040
Speaker 4: matter as well the FBI and the Department of Home Security.

146
00:08:48,040 --> 00:08:53,640
Speaker 4: Response also blends long standing fraud investigations with new actions

147
00:08:53,679 --> 00:08:57,720
Speaker 4: tied to the recent spotlight on the Minnesota programs, which

148
00:08:57,760 --> 00:09:00,720
Speaker 4: brings us back to the Minnesota Governor, Tim Wad. He

149
00:09:00,840 --> 00:09:04,880
Speaker 4: is being criticized by federal figures and GOP lawmakers the

150
00:09:04,920 --> 00:09:08,960
Speaker 4: Trump administration, framing the situation as evidence of lacks oversight

151
00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:13,320
Speaker 4: of federal funds, and officials in Minnesota are even angry

152
00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:17,960
Speaker 4: as well, bringing up broader claims emphasizing existing efforts to

153
00:09:18,120 --> 00:09:23,319
Speaker 4: fight fraud, and the whistleblowers were punished by the governor.

154
00:09:23,559 --> 00:09:26,040
Speaker 4: So that brings us to where we are now. What

155
00:09:26,120 --> 00:09:28,480
Speaker 4: we know is it looks like law and order will

156
00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:31,240
Speaker 4: be restored, even if the governor says we want to

157
00:09:31,240 --> 00:09:34,120
Speaker 4: bring in more Somalis for more fraud, even when he

158
00:09:34,200 --> 00:09:38,360
Speaker 4: says that we're demonizing those that are taking billions of

159
00:09:38,400 --> 00:09:42,440
Speaker 4: dollars away from American citizens. So Governor Waltz can hang

160
00:09:42,480 --> 00:09:45,440
Speaker 4: out on stage and say this is his plan, but

161
00:09:45,520 --> 00:09:48,680
Speaker 4: it's clear that law and order and law enforcement is

162
00:09:48,720 --> 00:09:51,600
Speaker 4: going to take place, and it could even involve the

163
00:09:51,679 --> 00:09:52,720
Speaker 4: governor himself.

164
00:09:53,040 --> 00:09:55,320
Speaker 3: Now story number two, there were major.

165
00:09:55,040 --> 00:09:58,560
Speaker 4: Meetings in Palm Beach at Marlago between President Trump and

166
00:09:58,600 --> 00:10:02,360
Speaker 4: Benjamin nettin Yaho, as well as Zelenski talking about the

167
00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:05,400
Speaker 4: wars that have been taking place in different parts of

168
00:10:05,440 --> 00:10:05,920
Speaker 4: the world.

169
00:10:06,160 --> 00:10:07,360
Speaker 3: We'll start first.

170
00:10:07,040 --> 00:10:09,280
Speaker 4: With a meeting with Benjamin Nett and Yahoo, and there

171
00:10:09,280 --> 00:10:12,640
Speaker 4: were positive developments, Trump hosting the Prime Minister of mar

172
00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:16,880
Speaker 4: Lago for bilateral talks on regional peace as well as security.

173
00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:20,400
Speaker 4: There was a public display of a strong alliance, especially

174
00:10:20,480 --> 00:10:23,320
Speaker 4: after liberal media outlets were claiming that there was major

175
00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:26,720
Speaker 4: tension between the two leaders. Both Trump and net Yahoo

176
00:10:26,760 --> 00:10:31,679
Speaker 4: projected unity and cultivated a positive atmosphere around them, exchanging

177
00:10:31,760 --> 00:10:36,920
Speaker 4: compliments and emphasizing that US Israeli cooperation relations have never

178
00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:40,840
Speaker 4: been stronger, yet again showing that the fake media was lying.

179
00:10:41,280 --> 00:10:44,959
Speaker 4: The peace planned discussions were also a very important part

180
00:10:45,080 --> 00:10:48,520
Speaker 4: of that conversation. They discussed a US broker Middle East

181
00:10:48,559 --> 00:10:53,640
Speaker 4: peace plan, including Gaza and broader regional issues, which brought

182
00:10:53,720 --> 00:10:56,640
Speaker 4: us to some of the new information coming out of Iran.

183
00:10:57,000 --> 00:10:59,360
Speaker 4: As a ram we're now being told is working on

184
00:10:59,679 --> 00:11:04,040
Speaker 4: Kim Cool and biological warheads. Donald Trump was asked about

185
00:11:04,040 --> 00:11:06,040
Speaker 4: that is that, you know, he was standing next to him.

186
00:11:06,080 --> 00:11:08,560
Speaker 4: And here's what the President had to say about Iran,

187
00:11:08,760 --> 00:11:12,040
Speaker 4: their nuclear arsenal, and regime change.

188
00:11:12,360 --> 00:11:14,760
Speaker 7: I'm not going to talk about overthrow of a regime.

189
00:11:14,960 --> 00:11:17,480
Speaker 7: It's they've got a lot of problems that are in

190
00:11:17,520 --> 00:11:22,320
Speaker 7: their tremendous inflation. Their economy is busted, economy is no good,

191
00:11:23,040 --> 00:11:24,960
Speaker 7: and I know that people aren't so happy. But don't

192
00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:28,040
Speaker 7: forget every time they have a riot or or somebody

193
00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:31,360
Speaker 7: forms a group, little or big, they start shooting people.

194
00:11:32,480 --> 00:11:36,000
Speaker 7: They know they kill people, and the people tend to

195
00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:42,000
Speaker 7: I've watched this for years. There's tremendous discontent. They form

196
00:11:42,040 --> 00:11:45,640
Speaker 7: one hundred thousand, two hundred thousand people. All of a

197
00:11:45,679 --> 00:11:51,200
Speaker 7: sudden people start getting shot, and that group disbandans pretty quickly.

198
00:11:51,280 --> 00:11:54,280
Speaker 7: So I've watched it for years. The vicious, vicious people.

199
00:11:54,360 --> 00:11:57,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, were supported that tack.

200
00:11:58,280 --> 00:12:02,880
Speaker 6: He's ready Iran meaning off head of the good people

201
00:12:02,920 --> 00:12:04,600
Speaker 6: with their realistic besides.

202
00:12:04,280 --> 00:12:05,920
Speaker 3: And also nucment weapon.

203
00:12:06,280 --> 00:12:11,360
Speaker 7: If they will continue with the missiles, yes, the nuclear

204
00:12:12,160 --> 00:12:14,640
Speaker 7: fast okay, what will be?

205
00:12:14,760 --> 00:12:15,040
Speaker 3: Yes?

206
00:12:15,160 --> 00:12:15,839
Speaker 7: Absolutely.

207
00:12:15,880 --> 00:12:17,280
Speaker 3: The other on was we'll do it.

208
00:12:17,240 --> 00:12:21,160
Speaker 4: Immediately, President Trump making it clear with net Yahubay his

209
00:12:21,360 --> 00:12:24,240
Speaker 4: side that the two agree on this. There's no way

210
00:12:24,280 --> 00:12:27,000
Speaker 4: that Iran can get a nuclear weapon. If they start

211
00:12:27,040 --> 00:12:30,760
Speaker 4: producing biological and chemical warheads, the same fate of those

212
00:12:30,760 --> 00:12:34,440
Speaker 4: Iranian nuclear sites will happen again, which brings us to

213
00:12:34,480 --> 00:12:38,760
Speaker 4: Donald trump meeting with Zelensky. Donald Trump's engagement with Zelensky

214
00:12:38,880 --> 00:12:42,720
Speaker 4: was about moving forward diplomacy. It also include a phone

215
00:12:42,720 --> 00:12:46,960
Speaker 4: call with Russia's Vladimir Putin after their meeting ended. Progress

216
00:12:47,040 --> 00:12:50,840
Speaker 4: towards a peaceful framework was the bottom line for President Trump.

217
00:12:50,960 --> 00:12:54,480

218
00:12:54,520 --> 00:12:59,040
Speaker 4: the Russia Ukraine War. Both indicated movement towards common principles

219
00:12:59,120 --> 00:13:04,120

00:13:04,400 --> 00:13:09,360
Speaker 4: Ukraine was offered a fifteen year US security guarantee as

221
00:13:09,440 --> 00:13:13,320
Speaker 4: a concrete part of the peace framework, something Zlensky described

222
00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:17,559
Speaker 4: as an important step forward, even if he prefers longer commitments.

223
00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:20,440
Speaker 4: And then there was a follow up diplomacy with Russia

224
00:13:20,480 --> 00:13:22,040

Speaker 4: Described by the White House is a positive call with

227
00:13:25,559 --> 00:13:29,160
Speaker 4: Putin to keep negotiations moving forward now. While a full

228
00:13:29,200 --> 00:13:34,000
Speaker 4: piece agreement isn't done yet, today's actions reflect continued commitment

229
00:13:34,040 --> 00:13:37,320
Speaker 4: to diplomacy. The White House said mutual talks between Kiev

230
00:13:37,360 --> 00:13:41,959
Speaker 4: and Washington and real movement on security assurances and negotiation

231

233
