1 00:00:01,840 --> 00:00:04,480 Speaker 1: You've had some concerns about crime in American cities some 2 00:00:04,519 --> 00:00:06,920 Speaker 1: of the cities that'll be hosting. Have they remedied that 3 00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:09,360 Speaker 1: for you? Are you still considering maybe asking FIFA to 4 00:00:09,360 --> 00:00:10,200 Speaker 1: move some of those cities. 5 00:00:10,360 --> 00:00:12,320 Speaker 2: No, I don't want to do that, but I will 6 00:00:12,360 --> 00:00:14,360 Speaker 2: tell you if they do have a problem, by the 7 00:00:14,400 --> 00:00:16,280 Speaker 2: time we get there, we'll take care of that problem. 8 00:00:16,320 --> 00:00:18,599 Speaker 2: We can solve that problem. I've proven that in DC 9 00:00:18,760 --> 00:00:20,680 Speaker 2: and everywhere else we went, so we'll take care of 10 00:00:20,680 --> 00:00:23,239 Speaker 2: that very easily. So if they have a problem, hopefully 11 00:00:23,280 --> 00:00:26,120 Speaker 2: they'll let us know that and we will solve any problem. 12 00:00:26,320 --> 00:00:29,080 Speaker 3: If you're listening to the forty seven Morning Update with 13 00:00:29,240 --> 00:00:30,560 Speaker 3: Ben ferguson good. 14 00:00:30,400 --> 00:00:32,479 Speaker 4: Saturday morning, it's nice to have you with us on 15 00:00:32,479 --> 00:00:34,880 Speaker 4: the forty seven Morning Update, and we've got a big 16 00:00:34,920 --> 00:00:38,360 Speaker 4: story for you the men and women in Minnesota's Department 17 00:00:38,360 --> 00:00:43,840 Speaker 4: of Health.

It's the 52 00:02:55,560 --> 00:02:58,760 Speaker 4: forty seven Morning Update and it starts right now. 53 00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:00,320 Speaker 3: Story number one. 54 00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:05,400 Speaker 4: Hundreds of Minnesota government workers have now accused the state's 55 00:03:05,600 --> 00:03:09,560 Speaker 4: leftist radical governor, former VP ken At Tim Walls, of 56 00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:15,359 Speaker 4: being responsible for the biggest fraud case in the state's history. 57 00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:18,600 Speaker 4: What is Tim Waltz saying about it? Oh, well, he's 58 00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:22,000 Speaker 4: saying Donald Trump is insane and he wants his MRI 59 00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:26,440 Speaker 4: release switched. The president did now. The statement came from 60 00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:30,720 Speaker 4: over four hundred individuals in the Minnesota Department of Health 61 00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:34,680 Speaker 4: and Human Services employees, and the group claimed that it 62 00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:38,360 Speaker 4: alerted Governor Tim Waltz the Democrat in charge to the 63 00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:41,120 Speaker 4: fraud in the early stages of its discovery, but he 64 00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:45,640 Speaker 4: allegedly retaliated against the whistleblowers. The statement they put out 65 00:03:45,760 --> 00:03:48,840 Speaker 4: said this, Tim Waltz is one hundred percent responsible for 66 00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:51,720 Speaker 4: massive fraud of Minnesota. We let Tim Waltz know of 67 00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:55,120 Speaker 4: fraud early on, hoping for a partnership and stopping fraud, 68 00:03:55,160 --> 00:03:59,800 Speaker 4: but no, we got the opposite response. Governor walt systematically 69 00:03:59,880 --> 00:04:04,960 Speaker 4: retaliate against the whistleblowers, using monitoring threats, repression, and did 70 00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:08,760 Speaker 4: his best to discredit fraud reports. Instead of partnership, we 71 00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:12,520 Speaker 4: got the full weight of retaliation by Tim Waltz, certain 72 00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:18,520 Speaker 4: DFL members and an indifferent mainstream media. It's scary, isolating, 73 00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:21,760 Speaker 4: and left us wondering who can we turn to. In 74 00:04:21,760 --> 00:04:27,280 Speaker 4: addition to retaliating against whistleblowers, Tim Waltz disempowered the Office 75 00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:32,800 Speaker 4: of Legislative Auditor, allowing agencies to disregard their audit findings 76 00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:38,240 Speaker 4: and their guidance. Media and politicians supporting Tim Waltz or 77 00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:42,159 Speaker 4: the DFL agenda attacked the whistleblowers who are trying to 78 00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:46,159 Speaker 4: raise red flags on the fraudulent activities. The New York 79 00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:49,080 Speaker 4: Times even has a headline now that says how fraud 80 00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:54,960 Speaker 4: swamp Minnesota's social services system on Tim Waltz's watch. Prosecutors 81 00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:58,920 Speaker 4: say members of the Somali diaspora, a group with growing 82 00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:03,200 Speaker 4: political power, were largely responsible. President Trump has drawn national 83 00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:07,200 Speaker 4: intention to the scandal amid his crackdown on immigration. Now again, 84 00:05:07,240 --> 00:05:09,480 Speaker 4: when I just read you, is from the actual New 85 00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:12,760 Speaker 4: York Times. Not only that, but a damning quote on 86 00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:16,320 Speaker 4: Tim waltz failure to stop the fraud consuming Minnesota quote. 87 00:05:16,520 --> 00:05:20,640 Speaker 4: No one was doing anything about the red flags. It 88 00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:23,040 Speaker 4: was like someone was stealing money from the cookie jar 89 00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:26,480 Speaker 4: and they kept refilling it. That is again a line 90 00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:30,080 Speaker 4: from the New York Times article. Now, Somali's in Minnesota 91 00:05:30,200 --> 00:05:34,240 Speaker 4: LEGLI took millions and millions and millions of dollars in 92 00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:38,799 Speaker 4: state medicaid autism care programs. We talked about this recently 93 00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:41,240 Speaker 4: on this show. And then they sent it to their 94 00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:46,000 Speaker 4: native country and it's terrorist organizations. Again, something that you 95 00:05:46,040 --> 00:05:48,880 Speaker 4: knew about weeks ago if you listened to this show. 96 00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:53,080 Speaker 4: Brightbart News even report in July that nearly one hundred 97 00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:57,480 Speaker 4: autism clinics in Minnesota were being investigated for fraudulently billing 98 00:05:57,520 --> 00:06:01,680 Speaker 4: medicaid for treatment of children supposedly diagnosed with autism, most 99 00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:04,680 Speaker 4: of it in connection with the rampantly corrupt Somali community 100 00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:08,159 Speaker 4: around Minneapolis, but the fraud is far more widespread, with 101 00:06:08,279 --> 00:06:11,479 Speaker 4: far more money involved than was previously reported, all of 102 00:06:11,520 --> 00:06:16,400 Speaker 4: which has been something that the Governor Tim Waltz knew about. 103 00:06:16,520 --> 00:06:20,600 Speaker 4: The House Majority whip Tom Emmer, a Republican from Minnesota, 104 00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:23,520 Speaker 4: has since called for an investigation to the millions of 105 00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:28,000 Speaker 4: tax payer dollars state taxpayer money literally going directly to 106 00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:31,400 Speaker 4: a terrorist group linked to Al Qaeda known as al Shabab, 107 00:06:31,839 --> 00:06:35,279 Speaker 4: again something we expose on this show. And despite the 108 00:06:35,320 --> 00:06:38,960 Speaker 4: evidence of fraud, State Democrats have continued to support the 109 00:06:38,960 --> 00:06:43,160 Speaker 4: Somali community why because they need their votes now. In 110 00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:47,479 Speaker 4: its post on x on Saturday, the Minnesota DHS continued 111 00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:52,080 Speaker 4: criticizing the governor, stating quote Fundamentally, Tim Waltz is dishonest, 112 00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:55,840 Speaker 4: lax ethics and integrity, has poor leadership abilities, and has 113 00:06:55,880 --> 00:06:59,640 Speaker 4: never taken any accountability for his role in this fraud 114 00:06:59,760 --> 00:07:03,880 Speaker 4: where tax hours went directly to terrorists, which brings us 115 00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:07,720 Speaker 4: to the media. Halfway covering this, NBC News on Meet 116 00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:10,240 Speaker 4: the Press had Tim Waltz on on Sunday, and I 117 00:07:10,280 --> 00:07:13,280 Speaker 4: want you to listen to how softbally they were with him, 118 00:07:13,520 --> 00:07:15,840 Speaker 4: and how they let Tim Waltz in essence not answer 119 00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:20,160 Speaker 4: the question and somehow go back to attacking Donald Trump 120 00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:22,440 Speaker 4: when the fraud that has taken place in a state 121 00:07:22,720 --> 00:07:25,160 Speaker 4: was helping terrorists organizations. 122 00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:29,800 Speaker 5: Listen carefully, well, speaking of the Somali community, President Trump 123 00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:33,560 Speaker 5: is targeting them and your state and party, citing fraud 124 00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:36,800 Speaker 5: is the reason for his crackdown. Dozens of people of 125 00:07:36,920 --> 00:07:40,640 Speaker 5: East African descent have been charged, convicted, and sentenced for 126 00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:43,840 Speaker 5: stealing more than a billion dollars in taxpayer money from 127 00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:47,400 Speaker 5: government programs during COVID. As you know, Governor, that is 128 00:07:47,440 --> 00:07:50,400 Speaker 5: more than Minnesota spends each year to run its Department 129 00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:52,040 Speaker 5: of Corrections. So I want to give you a chance 130 00:07:52,080 --> 00:07:55,800 Speaker 5: to respond to this. Do you take responsibility for failing 131 00:07:55,840 --> 00:07:57,320 Speaker 5: to stop this fraud in your state? 132 00:07:57,520 --> 00:07:59,960 Speaker 1: Well, certainly I take responsibility for putting people in jail. 133 00:08:00,520 --> 00:08:03,840 Speaker 1: Governors don't get to just talk theoretically. We have to 134 00:08:03,880 --> 00:08:07,040 Speaker 1: solve problems. And I will note it's not just Somali's. 135 00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:10,239 Speaker 1: Minnesota is a generous state. Minnesota is a prosperous days 136 00:08:10,280 --> 00:08:12,880 Speaker 1: a well run state or triple A bond rated. But 137 00:08:12,960 --> 00:08:16,040 Speaker 1: that attracts criminals. Those people are going to jail. We're 138 00:08:16,040 --> 00:08:19,000 Speaker 1: doing everything we can, but to demonize an entire community 139 00:08:19,040 --> 00:08:22,160 Speaker 1: on the actions of a few, it's lazy. And as 140 00:08:22,160 --> 00:08:25,520 Speaker 1: you heard Senator Kelly say, this president has cut a 141 00:08:25,560 --> 00:08:28,320 Speaker 1: lot of inspector generals. He's cut programs that could help 142 00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:31,160 Speaker 1: us tackle us on. So we are we'll take it on. 143 00:08:31,280 --> 00:08:33,040 Speaker 1: We'll put folks in jail. I don't care what your 144 00:08:33,120 --> 00:08:35,880 Speaker 1: nationality is, I don't care who your religion is, your color, 145 00:08:36,120 --> 00:08:39,200 Speaker 1: if you're committing crimes. These are programs that were meant 146 00:08:39,240 --> 00:08:43,960 Speaker 1: to serve students with autism, to housing, and to making 147 00:08:43,960 --> 00:08:46,600 Speaker 1: sure people had enough to eat. There's a reason Minnesota 148 00:08:46,679 --> 00:08:49,720 Speaker 1: ranks as the top lowest childhood poverty, best place for 149 00:08:49,800 --> 00:08:52,400 Speaker 1: children to live. People are taking advantage that they're going 150 00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:56,120 Speaker 1: to prison. That is totally disconnected with demonizing an entire 151 00:08:56,160 --> 00:08:59,000 Speaker 1: group of people who came here fleeing civil war and 152 00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:02,640 Speaker 1: created a vibe community that makes Minnesota in this country better. 153 00:09:02,720 --> 00:09:06,680 Speaker 1: But that's Donald Trump. Deflec demonies, come up with no solutions. 154 00:09:06,679 --> 00:09:09,680 Speaker 1: He's not going to help fix anything on fraud, My god, 155 00:09:09,679 --> 00:09:12,520 Speaker 1: There's a big difference between fraud and corruption, and corruption 156 00:09:12,679 --> 00:09:15,360 Speaker 1: is something he knows about well, the governor. 157 00:09:15,480 --> 00:09:19,000 Speaker 4: You notice she didn't interdrupt him one time. She let 158 00:09:19,040 --> 00:09:21,600 Speaker 4: him put out the lives and the propaganda. He talks 159 00:09:21,640 --> 00:09:23,880 Speaker 4: about people getting arrested when he was the one allowing 160 00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:28,640 Speaker 4: the money and the whistleblowers were targeted. Four hundred workers 161 00:09:28,679 --> 00:09:32,480 Speaker 4: have now come out against the governor. Why did he 162 00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:36,840 Speaker 4: not act? It's very clear he needs the Somali votes. 163 00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:40,360 Speaker 4: The Democratic Party has sold their soul to the Somali 164 00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:44,640 Speaker 4: voting block in Minnesota, and it's a large voting block, 165 00:09:44,920 --> 00:09:47,800 Speaker 4: make no mistake about it. And so he was willing 166 00:09:47,920 --> 00:09:51,440 Speaker 4: to look the other way while the fraud was happening 167 00:09:51,679 --> 00:09:55,679 Speaker 4: because he thought it was worth it politically. What's scary 168 00:09:55,760 --> 00:09:58,280 Speaker 4: is that guy was very close to becoming the vice 169 00:09:58,320 --> 00:10:00,839 Speaker 4: president the United States of America.
