1
00:00:00,760 --> 00:00:06,080
Speaker 1: It's the Save America Act, and the Democrats are against it.

2
00:00:06,200 --> 00:00:07,480
Speaker 2: Three very simple points.

3
00:00:07,720 --> 00:00:11,600
Speaker 1: It's got voter ID, photo ID, but voter ID, the

4
00:00:11,800 --> 00:00:15,680
Speaker 1: confirmation of US citizenship. You have to be a citizen,

5
00:00:15,960 --> 00:00:18,799
Speaker 1: and then you have no mail in ballots with the

6
00:00:18,840 --> 00:00:23,959
Speaker 1: exception of disability, illness, military, or if you're traveling, you

7
00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:28,040
Speaker 1: can get an exemption, and that will assure the security

8
00:00:28,040 --> 00:00:29,520
Speaker 1: of our crooked elections.

9
00:00:29,560 --> 00:00:30,560
Speaker 2: We have crooked elections.

10
00:00:30,840 --> 00:00:33,680
Speaker 3: If you're listening to the forty seven Morning Update with

11
00:00:33,800 --> 00:00:35,199
Speaker 3: Ben ferguson.

12
00:00:34,720 --> 00:00:36,800
Speaker 4: Good Friday morning, it's so nice to have you with

13
00:00:36,880 --> 00:00:39,120
Speaker 4: us in the forty seven Morning Update, and we've got

14
00:00:39,120 --> 00:00:39,839
Speaker 4: a very.

15
00:00:39,680 --> 00:00:40,720
Speaker 5: Big story for you.

16
00:00:41,120 --> 00:00:45,159
Speaker 4: Accountability finally coming to those look the other way with

17
00:00:45,280 --> 00:00:47,640
Speaker 4: the massive fraud happening in Minnesota.

18
00:00:47,760 --> 00:00:49,600
Speaker 5: This time Minnesota's a g.

19
00:00:50,040 --> 00:00:54,120
Speaker 4: Keith Ellison is forced to come before Congress and answer

20
00:00:54,280 --> 00:00:58,520
Speaker 4: questions about his ties to the Somali fraudsters. And it

21
00:00:58,600 --> 00:01:01,880
Speaker 4: went about as well as you can imagine, Josh Holly,

22
00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:05,760
Speaker 4: the Senator from Missouri, making it very clear he wasn't

23
00:01:05,840 --> 00:01:08,759
Speaker 4: letting him get away with anything. It's the forty seven

24
00:01:08,840 --> 00:01:11,199
Speaker 4: Morning Update and it starts right now.

25
00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:13,959
Speaker 5: Story number one, accountability.

26
00:01:14,080 --> 00:01:17,280
Speaker 4: It is what Donald Trump promised all Americans for those

27
00:01:17,360 --> 00:01:20,520
Speaker 4: that have been breaking the law. Waste, fraud and abuse

28
00:01:20,680 --> 00:01:22,640
Speaker 4: were a part of the doctrine. We were going to

29
00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:25,000
Speaker 4: get rid of it and figure out exactly who was

30
00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:29,399
Speaker 4: involved in it. Well, then we had what happened in Minnesota,

31
00:01:29,520 --> 00:01:33,959
Speaker 4: a massive explosion of an expose on the fraud that

32
00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:38,560
Speaker 4: is costing taxpayers billions of dollars. We also found out

33
00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:41,440
Speaker 4: much of that money was actually going to terrorist groups

34
00:01:41,480 --> 00:01:45,080
Speaker 4: like al Shabab. And then there's those that were behind

35
00:01:45,160 --> 00:01:50,800
Speaker 4: it or actually protecting the fraudsters. Josh Holly and many

36
00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:53,640
Speaker 4: in the Senate, they got a chance to talk to

37
00:01:53,800 --> 00:01:58,960
Speaker 4: Minnesota's Attorney General, Keith Ellison, over his ties to many

38
00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:02,600
Speaker 4: of those small fraudsters. How to be clear, the attorney

39
00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:04,600
Speaker 4: general is the one that's supposed to be going after

40
00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:07,920
Speaker 4: the criminal's not hanging out with them, doing deals with them,

41
00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:11,320
Speaker 4: or looking the other way. And now Senator Holly is

42
00:02:11,320 --> 00:02:15,359
Speaker 4: calling for the indictment of the Minnesota Attorney General, Keith Ellison,

43
00:02:15,919 --> 00:02:22,320
Speaker 4: over accusations that he accepted campaign contributions from the Somali

44
00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:29,400
Speaker 4: fraudsters for helping them evade investigation by state and federal

45
00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:35,000
Speaker 4: officials during the Senate Homeland Security hearing on Thursday, Holly

46
00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:38,160
Speaker 4: grilled Ellison about a report from The New York Post

47
00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:42,600
Speaker 4: published last year that is now accused the top Minnesota

48
00:02:42,639 --> 00:02:49,480
Speaker 4: official of taking campaign contributions from Somali's involved in Defeeding

49
00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:54,120
Speaker 4: our Future fraud scandal. That scandal is where some nine

50
00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:59,880
Speaker 4: billion dollars in taxpayer money was stolen under the guy

51
00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:04,720
Speaker 4: of feeding needy children. That's right, They weren't doing it

52
00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:10,600
Speaker 4: at all. According to the report, Ellison accepted several two thousand,

53
00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:16,560
Speaker 4: five hundred dollars campaign donations from Somali fraudsters after they

54
00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:23,320
Speaker 4: raised concerns that federal investigators were unjustly looking at their financials.

55
00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:26,840
Speaker 4: I want you to listen to part one center Holly

56
00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:31,320
Speaker 4: questioning and laying out the facts with the receipts of

57
00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:33,280
Speaker 4: exactly what Ellison was doing.

58
00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:34,399
Speaker 6: Try another question.

00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:37,720

60
00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:40,080

128
00:06:33,320 --> 00:06:37,400
Speaker 4: which he responded, I'm familiar with it because the people

129

00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:01,120
Speaker 2: I didn't.

137
00:07:01,279 --> 00:07:04,640
Speaker 6: You took ten to false thousand dollars. That's a false

00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:06,960
Speaker 6: ten thousand dollars.

139

142
00:07:17,960 --> 00:07:20,320

Speaker 7: them for fifty four minutes. They asked you for help.

144
00:07:23,200 --> 00:07:26,200
Speaker 7: You pledged it to them, and they talked repeatedly about money.

145
00:07:26,200 --> 00:07:30,040
Speaker 7: In fact, it's all they talked. That's a lot of money, money, money, money.

146
00:07:30,080 --> 00:07:33,160
Speaker 7: They said, we will put our dollars in the right place.

147
00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:36,120
Speaker 7: We will support candidates that will fight to protect our interests.

148
00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:39,440
Speaker 7: You replied, that's right. They said that you are securing

149
00:07:39,480 --> 00:07:42,200
Speaker 7: your donor base and securing your power base. You can

150
00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:45,239
Speaker 7: act the way you want. You replied, money is freedom.

151
00:07:45,720 --> 00:07:48,720
Speaker 7: They said, the amount of money circulate I'm reading the transcript.

152
00:07:48,840 --> 00:07:51,320
Speaker 7: The amount of money you're relating in our community today

153
00:07:51,440 --> 00:07:54,600
Speaker 7: is powerful and we haven't realizing it in a meaningful way.

154
00:07:54,640 --> 00:07:58,239
Speaker 7: And you said, give me the specifics. And nine days

155
00:07:58,320 --> 00:08:02,440
Speaker 7: later you took ten thousand dollars from people who were

156
00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:03,040
Speaker 7: then indicted.

157
00:08:03,160 --> 00:08:05,560
Speaker 6: It's in your reports. Why did you do it, sir?

158
00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:07,080
Speaker 6: This was it worth it?

159
00:08:07,800 --> 00:08:10,160
Speaker 2: You know what? This is a theatrical ten thousand.

160
00:08:10,280 --> 00:08:12,400
Speaker 6: This is the truth. It has a building it looks

161
00:08:12,440 --> 00:08:13,320
Speaker 6: like of which you've.

162
00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:17,000
Speaker 7: Had not You helped fraudsters defraud your sky and this

163
00:08:17,160 --> 00:08:21,160
Speaker 7: government of nine million dollars and you got that campaign

164
00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:22,080
Speaker 7: contribution out of it.

165
00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:25,200
Speaker 6: You ought to be indicted. True, Well, that's the truth.

166
00:08:25,480 --> 00:08:26,680
Speaker 5: I think we've made the point.

167
00:08:26,760 --> 00:08:28,960
Speaker 2: Let's keep the ten. Well, just for the record, I'll

168
00:08:28,960 --> 00:08:31,880
Speaker 2: ask how who's lying? And that's and that's the truth.

169
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:34,000
Speaker 6: Oh no, this is all on the road. So did

170
00:08:34,040 --> 00:08:34,720
Speaker 6: you bother? O?

171
00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:37,680
Speaker 7: Did you bother to investigate where the money that you

172
00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:39,840
Speaker 7: facilitated their fraud for where it went?

173
00:08:40,360 --> 00:08:41,800
Speaker 6: Do you know where it went, what it was used for?

174
00:08:41,960 --> 00:08:42,960
Speaker 6: The fraudulent money?

175
00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:45,880
Speaker 7: I do, because we just heard testimony about it yesterday.

176
00:08:45,920 --> 00:08:49,200
Speaker 7: Because we run with peers in these hundreds of millions

177
00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:53,000
Speaker 7: of dollars to terrorists, to transnational criminal organizations, to the

178
00:08:53,080 --> 00:08:56,920
Speaker 7: drug trade, to drug trafficking, to child trafficking.

179
00:08:57,040 --> 00:08:59,200
Speaker 6: And you took ten thousand dollars.

180
00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:00,840
Speaker 2: That's a lot and help them do it.

181
00:09:01,400 --> 00:09:01,600
Speaker 6: You know.

182
00:09:01,679 --> 00:09:03,760
Speaker 7: The other thing is whistle blowers came to you as

183
00:09:03,800 --> 00:09:08,240
Speaker 7: early as twenty nineteen. Let's look as early as twenty nineteen.

184
00:09:08,320 --> 00:09:11,600
Speaker 7: Whistle blood, don't talk over me as early as nineteen.

185
00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:16,600
Speaker 6: It's my hearing pal as early as twenty nineteen, don't come.

186
00:09:16,679 --> 00:09:18,800
Speaker 7: Whistle blowers came to Well, I should call you prisoner

187
00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:19,720
Speaker 7: because you ought to be in jail.

188
00:09:19,800 --> 00:09:20,800
Speaker 2: Well see what you get.

189
00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:24,320
Speaker 7: In twenty nineteen, whistle blowers came to you in your

190
00:09:24,320 --> 00:09:28,400
Speaker 7: office and referred to you fraud allegations from feeding our Futures,

191
00:09:28,400 --> 00:09:30,720
Speaker 7: and you blow them off. Listen to your own state newspapers.

192
00:09:30,760 --> 00:09:34,120
Speaker 7: At the Minnesota Star Tribune. The Partners and Nutrition brought

193
00:09:34,160 --> 00:09:37,320
Speaker 7: its concerns to the Attorney General's office in twenty eighteen

194
00:09:37,520 --> 00:09:40,800
Speaker 7: and in twenty nineteen, and you did nothing. You did

195
00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:43,520
Speaker 7: nothing for years. The only action you took is once

196
00:09:43,559 --> 00:09:46,480
Speaker 7: all these fraudsters came to your office and asked you

197
00:09:46,480 --> 00:09:48,160
Speaker 7: to get involved and offered your money.

198
00:09:47,880 --> 00:09:50,760
Speaker 6: And then you got involved. Then you talk the money,

199
00:09:50,800 --> 00:09:51,840
Speaker 6: and then you got involved.

200
00:09:51,840 --> 00:09:54,640
Speaker 8: They did not come to my office. You're completely wrong

201
00:09:54,679 --> 00:09:57,479
Speaker 8: about that. You met with it in fifty twenty.

202
00:09:57,320 --> 00:09:59,840
Speaker 7: Minutes and you took ten thousand dollars and they also

203
00:09:59,840 --> 00:10:02,559
Speaker 7: gave your family money. They gave your family thousands of

204
00:10:02,600 --> 00:10:05,120
Speaker 7: dollars in campaign contributions, is what they.

205
00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:06,120
Speaker 2: Gave false statements.

206
00:10:06,200 --> 00:10:08,600
Speaker 8: Let's put the this is you know, this is completely

207
00:10:08,679 --> 00:10:09,600
Speaker 8: under New York Post.

208
00:10:10,120 --> 00:10:11,439
Speaker 2: Yeah, we know the New York Post.

209
00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:15,400
Speaker 7: Minnesota Keith Ellison ag accepted campaign donations from individuals linked

210
00:10:15,400 --> 00:10:18,120
Speaker 7: to the twohunor fifty million dollars COVID fraud scheme after

211
00:10:18,160 --> 00:10:21,320
Speaker 7: they were in your office. No donations came on December twentieth. Sir,

212
00:10:21,400 --> 00:10:23,360
Speaker 7: you met with them on December the eleventh, and on

213
00:10:23,480 --> 00:10:26,760
Speaker 7: January twentieth, the FBI knocked over their headquarters.

214
00:10:26,880 --> 00:10:29,439
Speaker 6: No, no, that's the sequence of events here.

215
00:10:29,559 --> 00:10:30,199
Speaker 2: No, it's not.

216
00:10:30,280 --> 00:10:32,560
Speaker 6: You have been right at the center of this fraud.

217
00:10:32,600 --> 00:10:38,040
Speaker 7: Not the sequence and and sir, the false you should resign.

218
00:10:37,840 --> 00:10:39,960
Speaker 8: And sir, you should reside. I was thinking the same

219
00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:40,600
Speaker 8: thing about you.

220
00:10:40,720 --> 00:10:42,600
Speaker 6: Reside now.

221
00:10:42,640 --> 00:10:46,000
Speaker 4: Of course, Ellison denied helping the fraudsters, to which Holly

222
00:10:46,120 --> 00:10:48,680
Speaker 4: made it very clear, saying to Ellison to his face,

223
00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:53,280
Speaker 4: you accepted ten thousand from them nine days after the meeting.

224
00:10:53,720 --> 00:10:57,280
Speaker 4: You helped the fraudsters of fraudier's state and this government

225
00:10:57,320 --> 00:11:03,120
Speaker 4: of nine billion dollars, and you've got a fat campaign contribution.

226
00:11:02,880 --> 00:11:05,400
Speaker 5: Out of it. You ought to be indicted.

227
00:11:06,320 --> 00:11:10,440
Speaker 4: No, this is all on the record, sir, Holly continued,

228
00:11:10,840 --> 00:11:13,240
Speaker 4: did you bother to investigate weather the money that you

229
00:11:13,400 --> 00:11:18,120
Speaker 4: facilitated their fraud for where it went, question Mark, do

230
00:11:18,160 --> 00:11:20,560
Speaker 4: you know where it went, what it was used for?

231
00:11:20,760 --> 00:11:24,599
Speaker 4: The fraudulent money. I do, because we just heard testimony

232
00:11:24,640 --> 00:11:28,959
Speaker 4: about it yesterday. Hundreds of millions of dollars to terrorist groups,

233
00:11:29,440 --> 00:11:35,600
Speaker 4: to transnational criminal organizations, to the drug trade, to drug trafficking,

234
00:11:36,160 --> 00:11:40,440
Speaker 4: to child trafficking, and you took ten thousand dollars and

235
00:11:40,640 --> 00:11:44,760
Speaker 4: helped them do it. Holly also told Ellison that not

236
00:11:44,800 --> 00:11:48,560
Speaker 4: only should he resign from office, which I'm sure Ellison

237
00:11:48,760 --> 00:11:52,000
Speaker 4: will not do, but he reminded him that as of

238
00:11:52,120 --> 00:11:55,679
Speaker 4: last December, eighty five people have been charged in the

239
00:11:55,720 --> 00:11:59,840
Speaker 4: Feeding our Future fraud scandal, nearly all of whom are Somalid.

240
00:12:00,800 --> 00:12:05,480
Speaker 4: The investigation has led to sixty convictions thus far. So

241
00:12:05,520 --> 00:12:08,480
Speaker 4: how does the Attorney General look the other way and

242
00:12:08,559 --> 00:12:11,760
Speaker 4: act like it never happened. Well, it's pretty easy when

243
00:12:11,760 --> 00:12:14,120
Speaker 4: the people that are committing the fraud are giving you

244
00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:18,480
Speaker 4: campaign contributions. And this is exactly why the President of

245
00:12:18,480 --> 00:12:22,760
Speaker 4: the United States of America, Donald Trump, said multiple times

246
00:12:22,880 --> 00:12:26,040
Speaker 4: in the last week that the resources of the federal

247
00:12:26,080 --> 00:12:30,520
Speaker 4: government are all in to go after anyone is involved

248
00:12:30,520 --> 00:12:32,520
Speaker 4: in defrauding the American taxpayer.

249
00:12:32,920 --> 00:12:35,280
Speaker 5: And sending that money to terrorist.
