00:00:00.000 This is an iHeart Podcast.
00:00:02.580 Guaranteed Human.
00:00:05.960 We will pursue charges in this case.
00:00:09.080 I see various crimes that have occurred.
00:00:11.640 Exactly what they are, I'm not going to flag,
00:00:13.740 but the FACE Act has been mentioned
00:00:15.360 as one of the predicates there.
00:00:17.040 In other cases, the Biden DOJ used
00:00:19.740 the Klan Act conspiracy charges
00:00:21.940 tacked on to the FACE Act
00:00:23.700 in the case of protests outside abortion clinics
00:00:25.900 to bring much longer sentences.
00:00:27.860 So there are a number of tools available to us.
00:00:30.520 You're listening to the 47 Morning Update
00:00:33.040 with Ben Ferguson.
00:00:34.360 Good Tuesday morning.

00:00:40.440 The Department of Homeland Security
00:00:41.720 has arrested at least 10,000 criminal legal aliens
00:00:46.000 in Minneapolis.
00:00:47.700 The media, of course, doesn't want you to know the story.
00:00:50.280 Christine Noem is saying the record straight
00:00:51.860 about what the Trump administration has been doing
00:00:53.900 and just how many of these criminals
00:00:55.740 were dangerous and violent,
00:00:58.420 as well as sexual predators.
00:01:00.340 So why is the media not telling you
00:01:01.900 that part of the story?
00:01:03.180 We'll explain that and give you the facts.
00:01:05.700 But first, I want to tell you about our friends
00:01:07.120 over at Patriot Mobile.

00:03:00.000 and it starts right now.
00:03:01.560 Story number one.
00:03:02.600 Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem
00:03:05.360 saying on Monday
00:03:06.580 that federal authorities have arrested
00:03:08.460 more than 10,000 criminal illegal aliens
00:03:13.000 in Minneapolis alone.
00:03:15.800 She added that investigators have opened
00:03:18.420 what she described as a sweeping fraud probe
00:03:21.460 totaling at least $19 billion,
00:03:24.800 sharpening her criticism
00:03:26.040 of the Minnesota Governor Walz
00:03:27.500 and the Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Fry
00:03:30.520 for what she called a failure
00:03:32.560 to protect public safety.
00:03:34.900 In a statement,
00:03:36.060 Noem said the Department of Homeland Security
00:03:38.140 law enforcement officers
00:03:39.840 carried out the arrests
00:03:41.880 and that about 3,000
00:03:43.480 were made in the past six weeks alone.
00:03:46.940 She said those arrests included murderers,
00:03:49.920 rapists, child sex offenders, 0.54
00:03:52.240 and other violent criminals.
00:03:54.920 But the media,
00:03:56.100 they don't want you to know this story.
00:03:58.540 Kristi Noem is a great example.
00:04:00.520 of one of those
00:04:01.320 that the so-called media
00:04:03.100 loves to go after.
00:04:05.160 And on Sunday morning
00:04:06.260 on Face the Nation on CBS,
00:04:09.060 there was this exchange,
00:04:11.040 and it was amazing
00:04:12.100 because Kristi Noem
00:04:13.480 took the anchor to the woodshed
00:04:15.960 over her own lies.
00:04:18.000 I want you to listen
00:04:19.040 to the DHS secretary
00:04:20.720 destroying CBS News'
00:04:23.340 Margaret Brennan
00:04:24.320 over the ICE arrests,
00:04:26.360 and listen to the bias
00:04:27.700 that was on the show
00:04:28.860 that she didn't allow
00:04:30.160 to become reality.
00:04:31.780 You just said millions.
00:04:33.220 What's the breakdown
00:04:33.880 of the percentage
00:04:34.560 of those who you have
00:04:35.720 in custody
00:04:36.280 who have actually committed
00:04:37.640 a criminal offense
00:04:38.680 versus just the civil infraction?
00:04:40.360 Every single individual
00:04:42.180 has committed a crime,
00:04:43.700 but 70% of them
00:04:45.000 have committed
00:04:46.040 or have charges
00:04:47.180 against them
00:04:48.120 on violent crimes
00:04:49.600 and crimes
00:04:50.180 that they are charged with
00:04:51.240 or have been convicted of
00:04:52.460 that have come
00:04:53.160 from other countries
00:04:54.020 that are here illegally,
00:04:55.280 first of all,
00:04:56.200 and then they have committed
00:04:57.440 a criminal act
00:04:58.220 while they've been here
00:04:59.040 or in their home countries
00:05:00.080 as well.
00:05:00.720 It's not 70%.
00:05:02.040 Yes, it is.
00:05:03.860 It absolutely is, Margaret.
00:05:04.780 70% of everyone
00:05:05.780 you have detained has...
00:05:06.200 You guys keep changing
00:05:06.780 your percentage.
00:05:08.160 You pick and choose
00:05:08.900 what numbers you think work,
00:05:10.500 but that is the facts,
00:05:11.740 is that 70% of the people
00:05:13.120 that we have detained
00:05:14.720 have charges against them
00:05:16.560 or have been convicted
00:05:17.380 of charges,
00:05:18.320 and they need to be
00:05:19.380 brought to justice,
00:05:20.120 and we're going to keep
00:05:20.760 doing that no matter
00:05:21.480 how much you guys
00:05:22.400 keep lying
00:05:23.260 and don't tell the public
00:05:24.220 the truth.
00:05:24.860 It absolutely is
00:05:26.040 that these law enforcement
00:05:26.860 officers are out there
00:05:27.800 every day doing the work
00:05:29.580 to protect the American people,
00:05:31.060 and they will keep doing that
00:05:32.440 because they believe
00:05:33.180 in enforcing the law,
00:05:34.200 which is exactly
00:05:34.840 what President Trump
00:05:35.640 has charged them with.
00:05:36.740 You listen there to,
00:05:38.760 again,
00:05:39.320 the lies coming from CBS News.
00:05:41.800 They try to spin the numbers.
00:05:43.320 They try to say
00:05:43.960 what she said is not accurate,
00:05:45.500 and then when they're
00:05:46.920 called out on it,
00:05:47.700 you notice how quiet
00:05:48.940 Brennan shut down
00:05:50.440 because she knows
00:05:52.080 that this is the actual number,
00:05:54.300 which also brings us
00:05:55.680 to another part of this story.
00:05:57.640 You may not know
00:05:58.580 the headline
00:05:59.120 that I'm about to give you.
00:06:01.060 And that is the DOJ
00:06:02.680 is investigating
00:06:04.000 the Minnesota governor
00:06:05.300 as well as
00:06:06.440 the Minneapolis mayor.
00:06:08.360 They're both to cry
00:06:09.260 in the probe
00:06:09.800 as a, quote,
00:06:10.660 intimidation tactic,
00:06:12.140 and the liberal media
00:06:13.500 is more than happy
00:06:14.360 to spin it that way
00:06:15.940 exactly for them.
00:06:17.980 CNN doing a perfect job
00:06:19.880 of giving you
00:06:21.080 state-sponsored media
00:06:22.280 from the governor
00:06:23.140 and the mayor
00:06:24.120 as they reported
00:06:25.640 on this story
00:06:26.520 between Jake Tapper
00:06:28.200 and Caitlin Collins.
00:06:29.820 Listen to how they
00:06:31.420 tried to explain
00:06:32.280 the story to you
00:06:33.640 so that you think
00:06:34.780 that somehow Donald Trump
00:06:36.040 is the one doing
00:06:36.800 something wrong,
00:06:37.500 not the mayor
00:06:38.720 who said that we should
00:06:40.260 get the ICE agents
00:06:42.640 the F out of his city,
00:06:43.980 or the governor
00:06:45.200 who said it's civil war.
00:06:47.080 And let's also be clear,
00:06:49.360 why are they saying that?
00:06:50.680 Because billions of dollars
00:06:52.320 have been coming
00:06:53.040 into their state
00:06:53.960 and have been disappearing
00:06:55.260 through corruption,
00:06:57.220 fraud,
00:06:57.720 and much of the money
00:06:58.860 actually going directly
00:06:59.720 to terrorist organizations
00:07:00.920 like Al-Shabaab.
00:07:02.800 There is a massive fraud
00:07:04.660 in the entire state,
00:07:06.420 and they don't want
00:07:07.720 the federal government
00:07:08.460 there trying to clean it up.
00:07:10.240 So CNN says,
00:07:11.780 yeah,
00:07:12.140 we'll give you cover
00:07:12.900 to that,
00:07:13.360 no problem.
00:07:14.060 I've confirmed
00:07:15.200 that the Justice Department
00:07:16.400 is investigating
00:07:17.380 Minnesota Governor
00:07:18.600 Tim Walz
00:07:19.480 and Minneapolis Mayor
00:07:20.360 Jacob Fry.
00:07:21.700 A source familiar
00:07:22.340 has told me that
00:07:23.620 that confirms
00:07:24.380 what was reported earlier
00:07:25.780 by CBS.
00:07:27.380 And essentially,
00:07:28.340 Jake,
00:07:28.540 as we're still trying
00:07:29.180 to figure out
00:07:29.700 what exactly the contours
00:07:30.860 of this investigation are,
00:07:32.400 we have a pretty good idea
00:07:33.680 so far.
00:07:34.660 And we heard
00:07:35.420 from the Deputy Attorney General
00:07:36.660 Todd Blanche
00:07:37.320 earlier this week
00:07:38.100 after we had heard
00:07:39.060 these comments
00:07:39.680 from Mayor Fry,
00:07:40.700 from Governor Walz,
00:07:42.100 following the shooting
00:07:43.200 of a woman
00:07:43.760 by an ICE agent
00:07:44.720 in Minneapolis.
00:07:46.000 Earlier this week,
00:07:47.160 Todd Blanche was saying
00:07:48.100 that ICE operates
00:07:48.940 in a bunch of different counties
00:07:50.300 without incidents going on.
00:07:52.160 He referred to what's happening
00:07:53.500 in Minnesota
00:07:54.080 as an insurrection
00:07:55.160 and said it's the direct result
00:07:56.580 of a failed governor
00:07:57.500 and an all-caps terrible mayor
00:07:59.920 who he accused
00:08:00.880 of encouraging violence
00:08:02.120 against law enforcement,
00:08:03.480 something that Todd Blanche
00:08:04.200 called disgusting.
00:08:05.460 And he said,
00:08:05.960 I'm focused on stopping you
00:08:07.080 from your terrorism
00:08:08.040 by whatever means necessary.
00:08:10.360 So Jake,
00:08:10.700 I think that gives us
00:08:11.280 a pretty good sense
00:08:12.560 of what exactly it is
00:08:13.820 that the Justice Department
00:08:14.620 is at least trying
00:08:15.440 to base this investigation
00:08:16.440 off of.
00:08:17.400 Where it goes,
00:08:18.220 it's not really clear
00:08:19.060 right now,
00:08:19.800 but this does come
00:08:20.680 as the FBI director
00:08:21.820 and the Deputy Attorney General
00:08:23.320 were seen in Minneapolis
00:08:24.620 today as they've been
00:08:25.880 surging law enforcement
00:08:26.940 to the area
00:08:27.640 as those tensions
00:08:28.840 have only continued
00:08:29.680 since the shooting
00:08:30.460 of Renee Good.
00:08:31.340 But it does show you,
00:08:32.340 Jake,
00:08:32.520 who the Justice Department
00:08:33.540 is focusing their targets on
00:08:35.700 when it comes
00:08:36.580 to the aftermath
00:08:37.560 of the shooting
00:08:38.800 of Renee Good here.
00:08:39.940 And right now
00:08:40.780 it is the Minnesota
00:08:41.460 Governor Tim Walz
00:08:42.460 and the mayor here,
00:08:43.820 both of whom
00:08:44.440 have been criticized
00:08:45.120 by multiple
00:08:45.920 White House officials
00:08:46.680 for their comments,
00:08:48.100 including Mayor Fry
00:08:48.980 telling ICE
00:08:49.560 to get the F out
00:08:50.280 of Minneapolis
00:08:50.900 the day that she was killed
00:08:52.820 and Governor Walz
00:08:53.740 as well making
00:08:54.420 multiple public comments
00:08:55.700 talking about
00:08:57.020 the massive federal presence
00:08:58.700 in their state.
00:09:00.020 And so now it's an investigation
00:09:02.100 by the Justice Department.
00:09:03.700 It's not clear yet, Jake,
00:09:04.760 that either of them
00:09:05.360 have actually been served
00:09:06.360 subpoenas
00:09:06.960 as a result of this
00:09:08.200 and where this is going to go.
00:09:09.520 It seems to be
00:09:10.180 in the very early stages
00:09:11.540 of whatever investigation
00:09:13.300 this is.
00:09:14.580 But that is what
00:09:15.060 we have learned so far, Jake.
00:09:16.520 You notice there
00:09:17.560 they didn't talk about
00:09:18.700 the actual problems
00:09:20.180 in Minnesota.
00:09:21.080 They did not talk
00:09:22.260 about the fraud.
00:09:23.080 They didn't talk
00:09:23.760 about the millions
00:09:25.200 that turn into
00:09:25.960 billions of dollars
00:09:27.060 that have gone missing
00:09:28.580 from the taxpayers.
00:09:29.760 No, no.
00:09:30.060 Instead,
00:09:30.600 what did they do there?
00:09:32.120 They made up
00:09:32.940 a totally different issue
00:09:34.420 and that was
00:09:35.840 some sort of retaliation
00:09:37.520 or retribution
00:09:38.680 as they described it
00:09:39.760 for a Trump administration
00:09:41.760 they claim is angry.
00:09:43.580 Yes, the Trump administration,
00:09:44.660 by the way, is angry.
00:09:45.560 They're angry
00:09:45.940 that billions of dollars
00:09:46.800 of our tax dollars
00:09:48.080 have gone missing
00:09:48.960 in corruption and fraud
00:09:50.840 that the governor
00:09:51.600 and the mayor
00:09:52.000 looked the other way
00:09:52.760 on purpose.
00:09:54.900 Which brings us back
00:09:56.320 to Chrissy Noem
00:09:57.340 and what she had to say
00:09:59.300 on Monday
00:10:00.500 that federal authorities
00:10:01.720 have not only arrested
00:10:02.480 more than 10,000
00:10:03.400 criminal legal aliens
00:10:04.520 in Minneapolis
00:10:05.040 but she added 0.68
00:10:06.860 that investigators
00:10:07.800 have opened
00:10:08.300 what she described
00:10:09.060 as that sweeping
00:10:09.920 fraud probe
00:10:11.100 totaling at least
00:10:12.360 19 billion
00:10:13.420 and then explaining
00:10:15.360 it very clearly
00:10:16.500 this is at the
00:10:17.920 government's footsteps.
00:10:20.360 This is at the feet
00:10:21.540 of the governor
00:10:22.400 of Minnesota
00:10:23.160 and the mayor
00:10:24.220 of Minneapolis.
00:10:25.580 She also made it clear
00:10:27.300 that the worst
00:10:28.400 of the worst
00:10:28.900 are who they're targeting
00:10:29.880 in Minnesota
00:10:30.460 and we are finding
00:10:32.000 the rapists,
00:10:32.680 the child sex offenders,
00:10:33.720 the violent criminals,
00:10:35.180 the murderers.
00:10:36.440 Noem writing this,
00:10:37.500 peace and public safety
00:10:38.760 in Minneapolis.
00:10:40.640 We have arrested
00:10:41.180 over 10,000
00:10:42.620 criminal illegal aliens 0.67
00:10:44.140 who were killing
00:10:45.400 Americans,
00:10:46.440 hurting children
00:10:47.200 and raining terror
00:10:48.440 in Minneapolis
00:10:49.100 because Tim Walton
00:10:50.220 and Jacob Fry
00:10:51.040 refused to protect
00:10:52.220 their own people
00:10:53.140 and instead
00:10:53.620 protect criminals.
00:10:55.420 Noem continued,
00:10:56.460 in the last six weeks
00:10:57.580 our brave
00:10:58.100 Department of Home
00:10:58.880 and Security
00:10:59.400 law enforcement
00:11:00.380 have arrested
00:11:01.520 3,000 criminal
00:11:03.040 illegal aliens
00:11:04.020 including vicious
00:11:05.080 murderers, 0.80
00:11:06.100 rapists,
00:11:06.600 child pedophiles
00:11:07.520 and incredibly
00:11:08.680 dangerous individuals.
00:11:10.580 A huge victory
00:11:11.400 for public safety.
00:11:13.240 Noem also alleged
00:11:14.140 massive fraud
00:11:15.180 in her own words
00:11:16.300 totaling,
00:11:17.300 as she described it,
00:11:18.260 at least 19 billion
00:11:19.940 and said
00:11:20.780 Homeland Security
00:11:21.500 Investigation
00:11:22.400 agents
00:11:23.120 were conducting
00:11:24.080 large-scale
00:11:24.800 investigations
00:11:25.540 aimed at
00:11:26.580 recovering money
00:11:27.380 and holding
00:11:28.020 those responsible
00:11:29.340 accountable.
00:11:30.720 Noem,
00:11:30.920 by the way,
00:11:31.440 did not
00:11:32.120 provide any
00:11:32.880 details
00:11:33.480 outside of
00:11:34.240 that.
00:11:34.760 Why?
00:11:35.420 Well,
00:11:35.720 of course,
00:11:36.120 because she
00:11:36.400 doesn't want
00:11:36.780 the criminals
00:11:37.300 to know
00:11:37.620 what we're
00:11:37.900 actually doing.
00:11:39.140 But what she
00:11:39.620 did say
00:11:40.120 was this,
00:11:41.200 there is
00:11:41.720 massive fraud
00:11:42.380 in Minneapolis,
00:11:43.160 at least 19
00:11:43.920 billion,
00:11:44.640 and that's
00:11:45.240 just the tip
00:11:45.640 of the iceberg.
00:11:46.840 Our Homeland
00:11:47.140 Security investigators
00:11:48.060 are on the ground
00:11:48.900 in Minneapolis
00:11:49.620 conducting
00:11:50.180 wide-scale
00:11:50.840 investigations
00:11:51.580 to get justice
00:11:53.000 for the American
00:11:53.680 people who have
00:11:54.800 been robbed blind.
00:11:55.820 Now,
00:11:56.000 you notice
00:11:56.320 she didn't say
00:11:56.980 Minnesota.
00:11:58.200 She said
00:11:58.740 19 billion
00:11:59.600 in Minneapolis,
00:12:01.060 one single
00:12:02.000 city in
00:12:02.800 America.
00:12:04.160 DHS,
00:12:05.000 by the way,
00:12:05.960 not releasing
00:12:06.800 records,
00:12:07.380 names,
00:12:07.660 or other
00:12:08.020 details.
00:12:09.220 Why?
00:12:10.060 Because,
00:12:10.560 of course,
00:12:10.900 they don't want
00:12:11.320 to help the
00:12:11.800 criminals know
00:12:12.500 what's coming.
00:12:13.880 Now,
00:12:14.000 we also know
00:12:14.720 that the Justice
00:12:15.280 Department is
00:12:15.860 investigating
00:12:16.600 whether Waltz
00:12:17.280 and Fry
00:12:17.760 impeded federal
00:12:19.700 immigration enforcement
00:12:20.940 through public
00:12:22.100 statements,
00:12:22.660 according to
00:12:23.180 people familiar
00:12:23.780 with that
00:12:24.400 investigation.
00:12:26.000 Both Waltz
00:12:26.660 and Fry
00:12:27.100 have criticized
00:12:27.920 the investigation,
00:12:28.920 and,
00:12:29.500 of course,
00:12:29.820 as you
00:12:30.100 heard from
00:12:30.460 CNN earlier,
00:12:31.760 they're describing
00:12:32.620 it as an
00:12:33.120 intimidation
00:12:33.880 tactic.
00:12:34.560 No,
00:12:34.900 it's an
00:12:35.320 actual
00:12:35.800 massive
00:12:36.400 investigation.
00:12:38.100 One other
00:12:38.580 thing that's
00:12:39.160 also really
00:12:40.180 interesting is
00:12:40.780 a federal
00:12:41.140 judge in
00:12:41.840 Minneapolis
00:12:42.260 has barred
00:12:42.940 DHS
00:12:43.320 agents
00:12:44.100 from arresting
00:12:45.420 what they
00:12:45.960 describe as
00:12:46.640 peaceful
00:12:46.960 protesters
00:12:47.640 who are
00:12:48.480 not suspected
00:12:49.160 of crimes
00:12:49.920 or obstructing
00:12:50.680 officers
00:12:51.320 after
00:12:52.320 residents
00:12:52.880 alleged
00:12:53.220 violations
00:12:53.880 of their
00:12:54.380 constitutional
00:12:55.280 rights
00:12:55.800 while observing
00:12:56.620 or protesting
00:12:57.520 immigration raids.
00:12:59.520 Gnome's
00:12:59.900 fraud
00:13:00.180 allegations
00:13:00.780 also arrive
00:13:01.840 against the
00:13:02.460 backdrop of
00:13:03.060 Minnesota's
00:13:03.640 long-running
00:13:04.820 Feeding Our
00:13:06.000 Future case,
00:13:07.340 a high-profile
00:13:08.100 federal investigation
00:13:09.260 tied to
00:13:10.320 pandemic-era
00:13:11.080 child nutrition
00:13:11.960 programs.
00:13:13.300 What we know
00:13:13.840 about this
00:13:14.400 is shocking.
00:13:15.820 Minnesota's
00:13:16.320 Office of the
00:13:17.040 Legislative Auditor
00:13:18.000 summarized that
00:13:18.840 the U.S.
00:13:19.320 Department of
00:13:19.900 Justice has
00:13:21.040 now charged
00:13:21.820 not 10,
00:13:23.180 not 20,
00:13:24.080 not 30,
00:13:24.640 not 40,
00:13:25.100 not 50,
00:13:25.520 not 60,
00:13:26.100 but 70
00:13:26.920 individuals
00:13:27.800 between
00:13:28.800 September of
00:13:29.740 2022 and
00:13:31.160 February of
00:13:31.820 2024 in
00:13:33.320 connection with
00:13:33.880 a suspected
00:13:34.460 $250 million
00:13:38.460 scheme involving
00:13:40.440 federally funded
00:13:41.380 nutrition programs
00:13:42.820 and said the
00:13:43.920 alleged fraud
00:13:44.560 centered on
00:13:45.420 the Minnesota
00:13:46.040 nonprofit
00:13:46.980 Feeding Our
00:13:48.620 Future.
00:13:49.700 Waltz's office
00:13:50.500 previously said
00:13:52.000 it had not
00:13:52.820 received notice of
00:13:54.000 the Justice
00:13:54.360 Department's
00:13:54.940 investigation.
00:13:56.720 While Fry said
00:13:57.780 the probe appears
00:13:58.820 aimed at just
00:14:00.020 intimidating him
00:14:01.160 for opposing
00:14:01.940 what he called
00:14:02.480 dangerous federal
00:14:03.500 actions in his
00:14:05.000 city.
00:14:05.780 One thing is for
00:14:07.020 sure,
00:14:07.900 the Trump
00:14:08.260 administration is
00:14:09.440 not backing
00:14:10.360 down.
00:14:11.400 And because of
00:14:12.260 President Trump's
00:14:12.980 leadership,
00:14:14.140 others are doing
00:14:15.220 their jobs the
00:14:16.000 way they're
00:14:16.300 supposed to.
00:14:17.060 That includes
00:14:18.140 Kristi Noem,
00:14:19.360 the FBI,
00:14:20.440 and Cash
00:14:20.820 Patel,
00:14:21.520 and many others
00:14:22.560 who are now
00:14:23.160 going to hold
00:14:23.720 those accountable
00:14:24.580 in Minnesota
00:14:25.500 for the crimes
00:14:26.860 that they've
00:14:27.320 committed.
00:14:28.220 And that,
00:14:28.620 my friends,
00:14:29.080 is far from
00:14:30.520 quote,
00:14:31.080 intimidation,
00:14:32.200 even if CNN
00:14:33.240 lies to you
00:14:34.080 and says
00:14:34.600 otherwise.
