Transcript
00:00:05.660
Trump administration is now actively reexamining all of the Afghans imported into the country by Joe Biden.
00:00:12.800
Any individual who threatens our national security or our citizenry will be subject to removal.
00:00:19.420
President Trump has already permanently paused migration of foreign nationals from third world countries that pose a very high risk to the United States.
00:00:27.040
You're listening to the 47 Morning Update with Ben Ferguson.
00:00:31.120
Good Tuesday morning. Nice to have you with us on the 47 Morning Update.
00:00:35.180
We've got a major story for you, and that is the men and women in Minnesota's Department of Health.
00:00:41.140
More than 400 individuals are now becoming whistleblowers, claiming that Governor Tim Walz knew about fraud in its earliest stages as hundreds of millions of dollars were disappearing.
00:00:57.040
And going to fund terrorist organization Al-Shabaab.
00:01:01.400
Now, the Trump administration is investigating.
00:01:05.100
But first, I want to tell you about our friends over at Patriot Mobile.
00:01:07.720
Every so often, something happens that reminds us just how fragile our freedoms are.
00:01:13.320
We can't afford to take our rights for granted.
00:01:18.440
And our friends at Patriot Mobile have been doing just that for more than 12 years.
00:01:23.160
The truth is, there is only one provider that boldly stands in the gap for Americans who believe freedom is worth fighting for.
00:01:33.320
Not only are they leading the red economy, they're also outpacing the competition in technology.
00:01:39.800

It's the 47 Morning Update, and it starts right now.
00:03:02.420
Hundreds of Minnesota government workers have now accused the state's leftist radical governor,
00:03:10.000
former VP candidate Tim Walz, of being responsible for the biggest fraud case in the state's history.
00:03:21.800
Oh, well, he's saying Donald Trump is insane, and he wants his MRI released, which the president did.
00:03:28.860
Now, the statement came from over 400 individuals in the Minnesota Department of Health and Human Services employees,
00:03:37.900
and the group claimed that it alerted Governor Tim Walz, the Democrat in charge,
00:03:44.260
to the fraud in the early stages of its discovery, but he allegedly retaliated against the whistleblowers.
00:03:53.480
Tim Walz is 100% responsible for massive fraud in Minnesota.
00:03:57.960
We let Tim Walz know of fraud early on, hoping for a partnership in stopping fraud, but no.
00:04:06.600
Governor Walz systematically retaliated against the whistleblowers using monitoring threats, repression,
00:04:16.400
Instead of partnership, we got the full weight of retaliation by Tim Walz.
00:04:21.780
Certain DFL members and an indifferent mainstream media.
00:04:27.300
It's scary, isolating, and left us wondering who can we turn to.
00:04:32.620
In addition to retaliating against whistleblowers,
00:04:35.900
Tim Walz disempowered the Office of Legislative Auditor,
00:04:40.000
allowing agencies to disregard their audit findings and their guidance.
00:04:47.280
Media and politicians supporting Tim Walz or the DFL agenda
00:04:52.600
attack the whistleblowers who are trying to raise red flags on the fraudulent activities.
00:04:59.460
The New York Times even has a headline now that says
00:05:02.320
how fraud swamped Minnesota's social services system on Tim Walz's watch.
00:05:08.440
Prosecutors say members of the Somali diaspora,
00:05:13.440
a group with growing political power, were largely responsible.
00:05:17.520
President Trump has drawn national attention to the scandal amid his crackdown on immigration.
00:05:22.900
Now, again, what I just read you is from the actual New York Times.
00:05:27.060
Not only that, but a damning quote on Tim Walz's failure to stop the fraud consuming Minnesota.
00:05:32.160
Quote, no one was doing anything about the red flags.
00:05:37.600
It was like someone was stealing money from the cookie jar and they kept refilling it.
00:05:42.460
That is, again, a line from the New York Times article.
00:05:46.520
Now, Somalis in Minnesota allegedly took millions and millions and millions of dollars
00:05:58.380
And then they sent it to their native country and its terrorist organizations.
0.91
00:06:03.740
Again, something that you knew about weeks ago if you listen to this show.
00:06:08.580
Breitbart News even reported in July that nearly 100 autism clinics in Minnesota
00:06:14.100
were being investigated for fraudulently billing Medicaid
00:06:17.680
for treatment of children supposedly diagnosed with autism.
00:06:21.200
Most of it in connection with the rampantly corrupt Somali community around Minneapolis.
1.00
00:06:26.420
But the fraud is far more widespread with far more money involved than was previously reported.
00:06:32.100
All of which has been something that the governor, Tim Walz, knew about.
00:06:39.260
The House Majority Whip, Tom Emmer, a Republican from Minnesota,
00:06:44.000
has since called for an investigation into the millions of taxpayer dollars.
00:06:50.080
Literally going directly to a terrorist group linked to al-Qaeda known as al-Shabaab.
00:07:01.180
state Democrats have continued to support the Somali community.
00:07:10.720
the Minnesota DHS continued criticizing the governor.
00:07:15.360
Fundamentally, Tim Walz is dishonest, lacks ethics and integrity.
00:07:20.080
Has poor leadership abilities and has never taken any accountability for his role in this fraud.
00:07:29.460
Which brings us to the media halfway covering this.
00:07:33.520
NBC News on Meet the Press had Tim Walz on on Sunday.
00:07:36.960
And I want you to listen to how softball-y they were with him.
00:07:40.700
And how they let Tim Walz, in essence, not answer the question.
00:07:43.640
And somehow go back to attacking Donald Trump when the fraud that has taken place in his state
00:07:56.920
President Trump is targeting them and your state in part.
00:08:00.860
He's citing fraud as the reason for his crackdown.
00:08:03.480
Dozens of people of East African descent have been charged, convicted, and sentenced
00:08:08.880
for stealing more than a billion dollars in taxpayer money from government programs during COVID.
00:08:15.000
As you know, Governor, that is more than Minnesota spends each year to run its Department of Corrections.
00:08:20.140
So I want to give you a chance to respond to this.
00:08:22.800
Do you take responsibility for failing to stop this fraud in your state?
00:08:27.020
Well, certainly, I take responsibility for putting people in jail.
00:08:30.660
Governors don't get to just talk theoretically.
00:08:47.400
But to demonize an entire community on the actions of a few, it's lazy.
00:08:54.260
this president has cut a lot of inspector generals.
00:08:56.840
He's cut programs that could help us tackle this on.
00:09:04.060
I don't care what your religion is, your color.
0.99
00:09:06.260
If you're committing crimes, these are programs that were meant to serve students with autism,
00:09:11.380
to housing, and to making sure people had enough to eat.
0.82
00:09:15.500
There's a reason Minnesota ranks as the top, lowest childhood poverty, best place for children to live.
1.00
00:09:21.140
People are taking advantage that they're going to prison.
00:09:23.120
That is totally disconnected with demonizing an entire group of people who came here fleeing civil war
00:09:28.880
and created a vibrant community that makes Minnesota and this country better.
00:09:39.620
My God, there's a big difference between fraud and corruption.
00:09:44.100
Well, Governor, you notice she didn't interrupt him one time.
00:09:49.840
She let him put out the lies and the propaganda.
00:09:52.420
He talks about people getting arrested when he was the one allowing the money and the whistleblowers were targeted.
00:09:58.400
Four hundred workers have now come out against the governor.
00:10:10.120
The Democratic Party has sold their soul to the Somali voting bloc in Minnesota.
0.99
00:10:21.020
And so he was willing to look the other way while the fraud was happening because he thought it was worth it politically.
00:10:30.460
What's scary is that guy was very close to becoming the vice president of the United States of America.
00:10:35.300
And what's even more damning about what I just told you is the fact that they knew where the money was going.
00:10:47.720
The number of students that had autism in the Somali community was absolutely insane compared to the rest of the world.
1.00
00:10:57.780
The statistics show that there was a huge fraud.
00:11:04.040
More than 400 people that also, by the way, knew this was not a political thing.
00:11:10.720
It was clearly a national security issue and an issue of just corruption in a community that the Democrats said, no, no, no, we need them.
00:11:23.500
So here we are, Democrats saying, hey, we actually think somehow you're a bad person, Mr. President.
0.99
00:11:34.580
That's their response to corruption and fraud in Minnesota.
00:11:38.000
Well, the president released it and says, now it's your turn to answer questions.
00:11:46.960
And will there be any accountability at all for any of those involved?
00:11:53.640
That includes the governor in this investigation.
