- 2:55Speaker 3: it starts right now.
- 2:56Speaker 2: Story number one.
- 2:58Speaker 3: Hundreds of Minnesota government workers have now accused the state's
- 3:03Speaker 3: leftist radical governor, former VP kenn At Tim Walls, of
- 3:08Speaker 3: being responsible for the biggest fraud case in the state's history.
- 3:15Speaker 3: What is Tim Waltz saying about it? Oh, well, he's
- 3:18Speaker 3: saying Donald Trump is insane and he wants his MRI
- 3:22Speaker 3: release switched. The President did now. The statement came from
- 3:27Speaker 3: over four hundred individuals in the Minnesota Department of Health
- 3:31Speaker 3: and Human Services employees, and the group claimed that it
- 3:36Speaker 3: alerted Governor Tim Waltz, the Democrat in charge, to the
- 3:40Speaker 3: fraud in the early stages of its discovery, but he
- 3:43Speaker 3: allegedly retaliated against the whistleblowers. The statement they put out
- 3:48Speaker 3: said this, Tim Waltz is one hundred percent responsible for
- 3:51Speaker 3: massive fraud of Minnesota. We let Tim Waltz know of
- 3:55Speaker 3: fraud early on, hoping for a partnership and stopping fraud,
- 3:58Speaker 3: but no, we got the opposite response. Governor Waltz systematically
- 4:03Speaker 3: retaliate against the whistleblowers, using monitoring threats, repression, and did
- 4:09Speaker 3: his best to discredit fraud reports. Instead of partnership, we
- 4:14Speaker 3: got the full weight of retaliation by Tim Waltz, certain
- 4:18Speaker 3: DFL members, and an indifferent mainstream media. It's scary, isolating,
- 4:24Speaker 3: and left us wondering who can we turn to. In
- 4:28Speaker 3: addition to retaliating against whistleblowers, Tim Waltz disempowered the Office
- 4:34Speaker 3: of Legislative Auditor, allowing agencies to disregard their audit findings
- 4:40Speaker 3: and their guidance. Media and politicians supporting Tim Waltz or
- 4:47Speaker 3: the DFL agenda attacked the whistleblowers who are trying to
- 4:51Speaker 3: raise red flags on the fraudulent activities. The New York
- 4:55Speaker 3: Times even has a headline now that says how fraud
- 4:58Speaker 3: swamp Minnesota's social services system on Tim Waltz's watch. Prosecutors
- 5:05Speaker 3: say members of the Somali diaspora, a group with growing
- 5:10Speaker 3: political power, were largely responsible. President Trump has drawn national
- 5:14Speaker 3: intention to the scandal amid his crackdown on immigration. Now again,
- 5:18Speaker 3: when I just read you, is from the actual New
- 5:21Speaker 3: York Times. Not only that, but a damning quote on
- 5:25Speaker 3: Tim waltz failure to stop the fraud consuming Minnesota quote.
- 5:29Speaker 3: No one was doing anything about the red flags. It
- 5:33Speaker 3: was like someone was stealing money from the cookie jar,
- 5:36Speaker 3: and they kept refilling it. That is again a line
- 5:39Speaker 3: from the New York Times article. Now, Somali's in Minnesota
- 5:43Speaker 3: allegedly took millions and millions and millions of dollars in
- 5:48Speaker 3: state Medicaid autism care programs. We talked about this recently
- 5:52Speaker 3: on this show, and then they sent it to their
- 5:55Speaker 3: native country and its terrorist organizations. Again, thing that you
- 6:00Speaker 3: knew about weeks ago if you listen to this show.
- 6:04Speaker 3: Breitbart News even report in July that nearly one hundred
- 6:08Speaker 3: autism clinics in Minnesota were being investigated for fraudulently billing
- 6:13Speaker 3: Medicaid for treatment of children supposedly diagnosed with autism, most
- 6:17Speaker 3: of it in connection with the rampantly corrupt Somali community
- 6:20Speaker 3: around Minneapolis. But the fraud is far more widespread, with
- 6:24Speaker 3: far more money involved than was previously reported, all of
- 6:28Speaker 3: which has been something that the governor, Tim Waltz knew about.
- 6:34Speaker 3: The House majority whipp Tom Emmer, a Republican from Minnesota,
- 6:39Speaker 3: has since called for an investigation to the millions of
- 6:42Speaker 3: tax payer dollars state taxpayer money literally going directly to
- 6:47Speaker 3: a terrorist group linked to al Qaeda known as Al Shabbab,
- 6:51Speaker 3: again something we expose on this show. And despite the
- 6:55Speaker 3: evidence of fraud, State Democrats have continued to support the
- 6:59Speaker 3: Somali community why because they need their votes now. In
- 7:04Speaker 3: its post on X on Saturday, the Minnesota DHS continued
- 7:08Speaker 3: criticizing the governor, stating, quote Fundamentally, Tim Waltz is dishonest,
- 7:13Speaker 3: lax ethics and integrity, has poor leadership abilities, and has
- 7:17Speaker 3: never taken any accountability for his role in this fraud
- 7:21Speaker 3: where tax hours went directly to terrorists, which brings us
- 7:26Speaker 3: to the media. Halfway covering this, NBC News on Meet
- 7:30Speaker 3: the Press had Tim Waltz on on Sunday and I
- 7:33Speaker 3: want you to listen to how softbally they were with him,
- 7:36Speaker 3: and how they let Tim Waltz in essence not answer
- 7:38Speaker 3: the question and somehow go back to attacking Donald Trump
- 7:43Speaker 3: when the fraud that has taken place in a state
- 7:46Speaker 3: was helping terrorists organizations.
- 7:48Speaker 4: Listen carefully well, speaking of the smaller community, President Trump
- 7:54Speaker 4: is targeting them and your state and party, citing fraud
- 7:57Speaker 4: is the reason for his crackdown. Does of people of
- 8:01Speaker 4: East African descent have been charged, convicted, and sentenced for
- 8:04Speaker 4: stealing more than a billion dollars in taxpayer money from
- 8:08Speaker 4: government programs during COVID, As you know, Governor, that is
- 8:12Speaker 4: more than Minnesota spends each year to run its Department
- 8:15Speaker 4: of Corrections. So I want to give you a chance
- 8:16Speaker 4: to respond to this. Do you take responsibility for failing
- 8:21Speaker 4: to stop this fraud in your state?
- 8:23Speaker 5: Well, certainly I take responsibility for putting people in jail.
- 8:26Speaker 5: Governors don't get to just talk theoretically. We have to
- 8:29Speaker 5: solve problems. And I will note it's not just Somali's.
- 8:32Speaker 5: Minnesota is a generous state. Minnesota's a prosperous days, a
- 8:36Speaker 5: well run state or triple A bond rated. But that
- 8:38Speaker 5: attracts criminals. Those people are going to jail. We're doing
- 8:42Speaker 5: everything we can, but to demonize an entire community on
- 8:44Speaker 5: the actions of a few, it's lazy. And as you
- 8:48Speaker 5: heard Senator Kelly say, this president has cut a lot
- 8:51Speaker 5: of inspector generals. He's cut programs that could help us
- 8:54Speaker 5: tackle us on. So we are, we'll take it on.
- 8:57Speaker 5: We'll put folks in jail. I don't care what your
- 8:58Speaker 5: nationality is. I don't care your religion is your color,
- 9:01Speaker 5: if you're committing crimes. These are programs that were meant
- 9:05Speaker 5: to serve students with autism, to housing, and to making
- 9:09Speaker 5: sure people had enough to eat. There's a reason Minnesota
- 9:12Speaker 5: ranks as the top lowest childhood poverty, best place for
- 9:15Speaker 5: children to live. People are taking advantage that they're going
- 9:18Speaker 5: to prison. That is totally disconnected with demonizing an entire
- 9:22Speaker 5: group of people who came here fleeing civil war and
- 9:25Speaker 5: created a vibrant community that makes Minnesota in this country better.
- 9:28Speaker 5: But that's Donald Trump deflect, demonized, come up with no solutions.
- 9:32Speaker 5: He's not going to help fix anything. On fraud, my god,
- 9:35Speaker 5: there's a big difference between fraud and corruption, and corruption
- 9:38Speaker 5: is something he knows about well. Governor.
- 9:41Speaker 3: You notice she didn't interdrupt him one time. She let
- 9:45Speaker 3: him put out the lives and the propaganda. He talks
- 9:48Speaker 3: about people getting arrested when he was the one allowing
- 9:51Speaker 3: the money, and the whistleblowers were targeted. Four hundred workers
- 9:56Speaker 3: have now come out against the governor. Why did did
- 10:00Speaker 3: he not act? It's very clear he needs the Somali votes.
- 10:06Speaker 3: The Democratic Party has sold their soul to the Somali
- 10:09Speaker 3: voting block in Minnesota, and it's a large voting block,
- 10:14Speaker 3: make no mistake about it. And so he was willing
- 10:18Speaker 3: to look the other way while the fraud was happening
- 10:22Speaker 3: because he thought it was worth it politically. What's scary
- 10:27Speaker 3: is that guy was very close to becoming the vice
- 10:29Speaker 3: president of the United States of America. And what's even
- 10:32Speaker 3: more damning about what I just told you is the
- 10:34Speaker 3: fact that they knew where the money was going. It
- 10:38Speaker 3: was going to terrace, the money was leaving the country.
- 10:43Speaker 3: The number of students that had autism in the Somali
- 10:47Speaker 3: community was absolutely insane compared to the rest of the world.
- 10:53Speaker 3: The statistics showed that there was a huge fraud. Everyone
- 10:57Speaker 3: knew that there was a huge fraud. More than four
- 11:00Speaker 3: hundred people that also, by the way, new this was
- 11:04Speaker 3: not a political thing. It was clearly a national security
- 11:10Speaker 3: issue and an issue of just corruption in a community
- 11:15Speaker 3: that the Democrat said no, no, no, we need them, we
- 11:18Speaker 3: need their votes. So here we are Democrats saying, hey,
- 11:22Speaker 3: we actually think somehow you're a bad person. Mister President.
- 11:26Speaker 3: You're on hedge. We demand your MRI. That's their response
- 11:31Speaker 3: to corruption in Fraud and Minnesota. Well, the President released
- 11:34Speaker 3: it and says, now it's your turn to answer questions.
- 11:38Speaker 3: I'm just fine. The question now is who will go
- 11:42Speaker 3: to jail and will there be any accountability at all
- 11:47Speaker 3: for any of those involved that includes the governor in
- 11:51Speaker 3: this investigation. We'll keep you updated on it that I
- 11:55Speaker 3: can promise you.
