Transcript
- 0:01Speaker 1: You've had some concerns about crime in American cities some
- 0:04Speaker 1: of the cities that'll be hosting. Have they remedied that
- 0:07Speaker 1: for you? Are you still considering maybe asking FIFA to
- 0:09Speaker 1: move some of those cities.
- 0:10Speaker 2: No, I don't want to do that, but I will
- 0:12Speaker 2: tell you if they do have a problem, by the
- 0:14Speaker 2: time we get there, we'll take care of that problem.
- 0:16Speaker 2: We can solve that problem. I've proven that in DC
- 0:18Speaker 2: and everywhere else we went, so we'll take care of
- 0:20Speaker 2: that very easily. So if they have a problem, hopefully
- 0:23Speaker 2: they'll let us know that and we will solve any problem.

- 0:30Speaker 4: Saturday morning, it's nice to have you with us on
- 0:32Speaker 4: the forty seven Morning Update, and we've got a big
- 0:34Speaker 4: story for you the men and women in Minnesota's Department
- 0:38Speaker 4: of Health. More than four hundred individuals are now becoming whistleblowers,
- 0:44Speaker 4: claiming that Governor Tim Waltz knew about fraud in its
- 0:48Speaker 4: earliest stages. As hundreds of millions of dollars we're disappearing
- 0:54Speaker 4: and going to fun terrorist organization Al Shabab. Now, the
- 0:59Speaker 4: Trump administration is investigating, but first want to tell you
- 1:03Speaker 4: about our friends over at Patriot Mobile. Every so often,
- 1:06Speaker 4: something happens that reminds us just how fragile our freedoms are.
- 1:10Speaker 4: We can't afford to take our rights for granted. We
- 1:13Speaker 4: must draw a line in the sand, and our friends
- 1:16Speaker 4: at Patriot Mobile have been doing just that for more
- 1:19Speaker 4: than twelve years. The truth is there is only one
- 1:23Speaker 4: provider that boldly stands in the gap for Americans who
- 1:26Speaker 4: believe freedom is we're fighting for, and that company is

- 2:55Speaker 4: forty seven Morning Update and it starts right now.
- 2:59Speaker 3: Story number one.
- 3:00Speaker 4: Hundreds of Minnesota government workers have now accused the state's
- 3:05Speaker 4: leftist radical governor, former VP ken At Tim Walls, of
- 3:09Speaker 4: being responsible for the biggest fraud case in the state's history.
- 3:15Speaker 4: What is Tim Waltz saying about it? Oh, well, he's
- 3:18Speaker 4: saying Donald Trump is insane and he wants his MRI
- 3:22Speaker 4: release switched. The president did now. The statement came from
- 3:26Speaker 4: over four hundred individuals in the Minnesota Department of Health
- 3:30Speaker 4: and Human Services employees, and the group claimed that it
- 3:34Speaker 4: alerted Governor Tim Waltz the Democrat in charge to the
- 3:38Speaker 4: fraud in the early stages of its discovery, but he
- 3:41Speaker 4: allegedly retaliated against the whistleblowers. The statement they put out
- 3:45Speaker 4: said this, Tim Waltz is one hundred percent responsible for
- 3:49Speaker 4: massive fraud of Minnesota. We let Tim Waltz know of
- 3:51Speaker 4: fraud early on, hoping for a partnership and stopping fraud,
- 3:55Speaker 4: but no, we got the opposite response. Governor walt systematically
- 3:59Speaker 4: retaliate against the whistleblowers, using monitoring threats, repression, and did
- 4:05Speaker 4: his best to discredit fraud reports. Instead of partnership, we
- 4:08Speaker 4: got the full weight of retaliation by Tim Waltz, certain
- 4:12Speaker 4: DFL members and an indifferent mainstream media. It's scary, isolating,
- 4:18Speaker 4: and left us wondering who can we turn to. In
- 4:21Speaker 4: addition to retaliating against whistleblowers, Tim Waltz disempowered the Office
- 4:27Speaker 4: of Legislative Auditor, allowing agencies to disregard their audit findings
- 4:33Speaker 4: and their guidance. Media and politicians supporting Tim Waltz or
- 4:38Speaker 4: the DFL agenda attacked the whistleblowers who are trying to
- 4:42Speaker 4: raise red flags on the fraudulent activities. The New York
- 4:46Speaker 4: Times even has a headline now that says how fraud
- 4:49Speaker 4: swamp Minnesota's social services system on Tim Waltz's watch. Prosecutors
- 4:54Speaker 4: say members of the Somali diaspora, a group with growing
- 4:58Speaker 4: political power, were largely responsible. President Trump has drawn national
- 5:03Speaker 4: intention to the scandal amid his crackdown on immigration. Now again,
- 5:07Speaker 4: when I just read you, is from the actual New
- 5:09Speaker 4: York Times. Not only that, but a damning quote on
- 5:12Speaker 4: Tim waltz failure to stop the fraud consuming Minnesota quote.
- 5:16Speaker 4: No one was doing anything about the red flags. It
- 5:20Speaker 4: was like someone was stealing money from the cookie jar
- 5:23Speaker 4: and they kept refilling it. That is again a line
- 5:26Speaker 4: from the New York Times article. Now, Somali's in Minnesota
- 5:30Speaker 4: LEGLI took millions and millions and millions of dollars in
- 5:34Speaker 4: state medicaid autism care programs. We talked about this recently
- 5:38Speaker 4: on this show. And then they sent it to their
- 5:41Speaker 4: native country and it's terrorist organizations. Again, something that you
- 5:46Speaker 4: knew about weeks ago if you listened to this show.
- 5:49Speaker 4: Brightbart News even report in July that nearly one hundred
- 5:53Speaker 4: autism clinics in Minnesota were being investigated for fraudulently billing
- 5:57Speaker 4: medicaid for treatment of children supposedly diagnosed with autism, most
- 6:01Speaker 4: of it in connection with the rampantly corrupt Somali community
- 6:04Speaker 4: around Minneapolis, but the fraud is far more widespread, with
- 6:08Speaker 4: far more money involved than was previously reported, all of
- 6:11Speaker 4: which has been something that the Governor Tim Waltz knew about.
- 6:16Speaker 4: The House Majority whip Tom Emmer, a Republican from Minnesota,
- 6:20Speaker 4: has since called for an investigation to the millions of
- 6:23Speaker 4: tax payer dollars state taxpayer money literally going directly to
- 6:28Speaker 4: a terrorist group linked to Al Qaeda known as al Shabab,
- 6:31Speaker 4: again something we expose on this show. And despite the
- 6:35Speaker 4: evidence of fraud, State Democrats have continued to support the
- 6:38Speaker 4: Somali community why because they need their votes now. In
- 6:43Speaker 4: its post on x on Saturday, the Minnesota DHS continued
- 6:47Speaker 4: criticizing the governor, stating quote Fundamentally, Tim Waltz is dishonest,
- 6:52Speaker 4: lax ethics and integrity, has poor leadership abilities, and has
- 6:55Speaker 4: never taken any accountability for his role in this fraud
- 6:59Speaker 4: where tax hours went directly to terrorists, which brings us
- 7:03Speaker 4: to the media. Halfway covering this, NBC News on Meet
- 7:07Speaker 4: the Press had Tim Waltz on on Sunday, and I
- 7:10Speaker 4: want you to listen to how softbally they were with him,
- 7:13Speaker 4: and how they let Tim Waltz in essence not answer
- 7:15Speaker 4: the question and somehow go back to attacking Donald Trump
- 7:20Speaker 4: when the fraud that has taken place in a state
- 7:22Speaker 4: was helping terrorists organizations.
- 7:25Speaker 5: Listen carefully, well, speaking of the Somali community, President Trump
- 7:30Speaker 5: is targeting them and your state and party, citing fraud
- 7:33Speaker 5: is the reason for his crackdown. Dozens of people of
- 7:36Speaker 5: East African descent have been charged, convicted, and sentenced for
- 7:40Speaker 5: stealing more than a billion dollars in taxpayer money from
- 7:44Speaker 5: government programs during COVID. As you know, Governor, that is
- 7:47Speaker 5: more than Minnesota spends each year to run its Department
- 7:50Speaker 5: of Corrections. So I want to give you a chance
- 7:52Speaker 5: to respond to this. Do you take responsibility for failing
- 7:55Speaker 5: to stop this fraud in your state?
- 7:57Speaker 1: Well, certainly I take responsibility for putting people in jail.
- 8:00Speaker 1: Governors don't get to just talk theoretically. We have to
- 8:03Speaker 1: solve problems. And I will note it's not just Somali's.
- 8:07Speaker 1: Minnesota is a generous state. Minnesota is a prosperous days
- 8:10Speaker 1: a well run state or triple A bond rated. But
- 8:12Speaker 1: that attracts criminals. Those people are going to jail. We're
- 8:16Speaker 1: doing everything we can, but to demonize an entire community
- 8:19Speaker 1: on the actions of a few, it's lazy. And as
- 8:22Speaker 1: you heard Senator Kelly say, this president has cut a
- 8:25Speaker 1: lot of inspector generals. He's cut programs that could help
- 8:28Speaker 1: us tackle us on. So we are we'll take it on.
- 8:31Speaker 1: We'll put folks in jail. I don't care what your
- 8:33Speaker 1: nationality is, I don't care who your religion is, your color,
- 8:36Speaker 1: if you're committing crimes. These are programs that were meant
- 8:39Speaker 1: to serve students with autism, to housing, and to making
- 8:43Speaker 1: sure people had enough to eat. There's a reason Minnesota
- 8:46Speaker 1: ranks as the top lowest childhood poverty, best place for
- 8:49Speaker 1: children to live. People are taking advantage that they're going
- 8:52Speaker 1: to prison. That is totally disconnected with demonizing an entire
- 8:56Speaker 1: group of people who came here fleeing civil war and
- 8:59Speaker 1: created a vibe community that makes Minnesota in this country better.
- 9:02Speaker 1: But that's Donald Trump. Deflec demonies, come up with no solutions.
- 9:06Speaker 1: He's not going to help fix anything on fraud, My god,
- 9:09Speaker 1: There's a big difference between fraud and corruption, and corruption
- 9:12Speaker 1: is something he knows about well, the governor.
- 9:15Speaker 4: You notice she didn't interdrupt him one time. She let
- 9:19Speaker 4: him put out the lives and the propaganda. He talks
- 9:21Speaker 4: about people getting arrested when he was the one allowing
- 9:23Speaker 4: the money and the whistleblowers were targeted. Four hundred workers
- 9:28Speaker 4: have now come out against the governor. Why did he
- 9:33Speaker 4: not act? It's very clear he needs the Somali votes.
- 9:37Speaker 4: The Democratic Party has sold their soul to the Somali
- 9:40Speaker 4: voting block in Minnesota, and it's a large voting block,
- 9:44Speaker 4: make no mistake about it. And so he was willing
- 9:47Speaker 4: to look the other way while the fraud was happening
- 9:51Speaker 4: because he thought it was worth it politically. What's scary
- 9:55Speaker 4: is that guy was very close to becoming the vice
- 9:58Speaker 4: president the United States of America. And what's even more
- 10:00Speaker 4: damning about what I just told you is the fact
- 10:03Speaker 4: that they knew where the money was going. It was
- 10:06Speaker 4: going to terrorists, The money was leaving the country. The
- 10:10Speaker 4: number of students that had autism in the Somali community
- 10:15Speaker 4: was absolutely insane compared to the rest of the world.
- 10:19Speaker 4: The statistics showed that there was a huge fraud. Everyone
- 10:23Speaker 4: knew that there was a huge fraud. More than four
- 10:26Speaker 4: hundred people that also, by the way, knew this was
- 10:29Speaker 4: not a political thing. It was clearly a national security
- 10:34Speaker 4: issue and an issue of just corruption in a community
- 10:39Speaker 4: that the Democrats said, no, no, no, we need them, we
- 10:41Speaker 4: need their votes. So here we are Democrats saying, hey,
- 10:45Speaker 4: we actually think somehow you're a bad person. Mister President,
- 10:49Speaker 4: you're onhedge. We demand your MRI. That's their response to
- 10:53Speaker 4: corruption and fraud in Minnesota. Well, the President released it
- 10:57Speaker 4: and says, now it's your turn to answer question. I'm
- 11:00Speaker 4: just fine. The question now is who will go to
- 11:03Speaker 4: jail and will there be any accountability at all for
- 11:08Speaker 4: any of those involved that includes the governor in this investigation.
- 11:13Speaker 4: We'll keep you updated on it that I can promise you.
