00:00:02.600 Guaranteed human.

00:00:04.840 From an owner's cell phone, I was showing a text conversation

00:00:08.060 between the owner of the center and a friend.

00:00:10.960 The friend had asked the owner,

00:00:12.640 how much longer are you going to do the daycare scam?

00:00:15.280 The owner replied, another year or two.

00:00:17.760 I'm going to buy some nice homes in Nairobi.

00:00:20.040 You're listening to the 47 Morning Update with Ben Ferguson.

00:00:24.020 Good Thursday morning.

00:00:25.240 Nice to have you with us on the 47 Morning Update.

00:00:27.900 And we've got a bombshell for you.

00:00:30.860 Governor Tim Walz of Minnesota, a no-show at the Minnesota House Oversight Hearing.

00:00:36.280 But those that were testifying, they had a lot to say.

00:00:39.760 And you'll understand exactly why Governor Walz went and hid,

00:00:43.600 making sure he was nowhere close to their testimony.

00:00:47.040 We have it all for you in an extended version.

00:00:50.480 But before we get to that, I want to tell you about our good friends at Patriot Mobile.

00:02:23.740 update and it starts right now story number one all right we've got some really interesting i

00:02:29.680 would actually say stunning developments coming out of minnesota when it comes to former vice

00:02:35.460 presidential candidate governor tim waltz now he's already said he's not going to run for re-election 0.99

00:02:39.780 because of the massive Somali fraud in his state. 1.00

00:02:43.060 But now what we're witnessing is something that's even more shocking than that. 0.93

00:02:46.600 Now, Governor Walz said he was going to show up

00:02:49.380 and he was going to be at this key Minnesota House oversight hearing

00:02:55.540 that was investigating fraud that's been tied to all the taxpayer-funded child care programs.

00:03:00.880 In a stunning turn of events, he was a no-show.

00:03:05.140 Now, this is hours after he took credit for the FBI,

00:03:09.780 raiding the Leering Center and 20 other different learning centers, quote-unquote,

00:03:17.020 and he acted like he was a part of it.

00:03:19.280 In fact, even on X, he put out this tweet yesterday that said,

00:03:22.740 quote, if you commit fraud in Minnesota, you're going to get caught.

00:03:27.220 And that's exactly what we saw today.

00:03:29.340 We catch criminals when state and federal agencies share information.

00:03:33.440 Joint investigations work, and securing justice depends on it.

00:03:38.040 Now, that is like a complete opposite of what actually happened with Governor Walz.

00:03:42.640 There's a reason why he's not running for re-election.

00:03:44.500 It's because everything in that tweet that, by the way, I support was not happening while he was in charge.

00:03:49.560 So not only does Governor Walz try to like rewrite history and take credit for the FBI raids in Minnesota,

00:03:55.620 but Cash Patel, the FBI director, actually threw down on this.

00:03:59.800 He wrote this in response, quote,

00:04:03.120 This FBI and DOJ executed every warrant.

00:04:06.540 Go ahead and take credit while we clean up the mess under your watch.

00:04:13.120 Now, I want you to hear what Fox News had to say about this, as again, not only is the governor acting like he's cleaning up the city,

00:04:19.780 but then he immediately no-shows for the committee hearing about cleaning up Minneapolis, St. Paul, and the entire state.

00:04:27.360 You're going to get caught, and that's exactly what we saw today.

00:04:30.660 We catch criminals when state and federal agencies share information,

00:04:37.000 join investigation work, and securing justice depends on it.

00:04:40.680 They didn't do anything, Ainsley.

00:04:42.720 No agents, no nothing.

00:04:45.120 It was the federal government.

00:04:46.720 And by the way, Ainsley, they criticized them when they were on the ground in Minnesota doing this exact work.

00:04:53.320 I know.

00:04:53.740 And Kash Patel, who is the FBI director, federal agent, he wrote,

00:04:58.120 come again this fbi and doj with our dhs partners drafted and executed every search warrant today

00:05:05.420 but go ahead and take credit for our work while we smoke out the fraud plaguing minnesota

00:05:11.560 under your governorship yeah 22 separate uh locations uh were raided they're talking about 0.51

00:05:18.820 hundreds if not billions of dollars most of them are somali-run businesses here's the governor last

00:05:24.720 night. I promised you that I would devote my energies to fighting fraud in our state's human 1.00

00:05:29.420 resources program. I've said the buck stops with me. And as I know, some of you will take that as

00:05:34.420 an open invitation to play politics with every incident of fraud that takes place here in

00:05:38.380 Minnesota. Even though I have to tell you, statistics show it's happening in red states

00:05:42.320 more than here. My ask for you tonight is simple. If you're taking fraud seriously,

00:05:47.160 take your responsibility seriously and pass legislation to stop it. If you talk about

00:05:52.200 oversight vote for that oversight in the bills that are working their way through the changes

00:05:56.140 now by the way i want to be clear i can get behind that governor with most of what he said

00:06:03.140 and he got a standing ovation for what he said there so why not actually show up for the actual

00:06:09.160 meeting that deals with exactly what he says is so important and so it's a simple question

00:06:14.880 where is the accountability because instead of facing lawmakers in the public the governor's

00:06:19.960 absence is only adding fuel to an already growing controversy over oversight failures which the

00:06:27.240 government's office supposed to be involved in whistleblower claims and whether state leadership

00:06:31.580 turned a deliberate and purposeful blind eye i believe they did to because they were getting

00:06:36.900 kickbacks on the massive fraud that was unfolding right under their watch that also includes the

00:06:42.680 governor now i play that for you to go to what actually happened okay and this is really

00:06:49.700 interesting because governor waltz is a no-show his administration is actively combating fraud

00:06:55.700 they claim that i i think is not happening he also notably declined to testify on the same day

00:07:03.460 that the fbi raided nearly two dozen facilities in minneapolis including daycares and suspected

00:07:09.420 stealing federal public assistance funds so that's the lay of the land here now lawmakers

00:07:15.560 on the Minnesota House Fraud Prevention and State Agency Oversight Policy Committee

00:07:20.760 noted that they reached out to Waltz more than a month ago,

00:07:25.680 followed up multiple times,

00:07:27.120 and that he had his picks of dates to choose from to come before their committee.

00:07:33.700 And guess what?

00:07:34.580 He's a no-show.

00:07:36.300 Now, we are also learning why.

00:07:38.740 And I want you to listen to one testimony here.

00:07:42.620 this is a testimony from a whistleblower and they are explaining how bad the fraud and corruption

00:07:50.620 is how long it's been going on now this is what the media should be leading with on every show

00:07:57.920 in this country they're not going to play for you this whistleblower and i want you to please

00:08:02.620 share this okay this is literally why i do this show and why i do the podcast without you guys

00:08:10.200 putting it out there and sharing this people will not see it so take a moment share the podcast

00:08:16.860 wherever you can on social media so people hear this i want you to listen to a patriot this is a

00:08:24.320 30 plus year three decades of his life he has given to law enforcement in minnesota a man that

00:08:31.480 was overseeing some of the fraud that was taking place in minnesota and what this patriot at this

00:08:39.260 incredible hearing for the minnesota house oversight hearing where governor ten waltz

00:08:45.160 refused to show up a no-show this brave man tells the world exactly how bad it is in minnesota

00:08:53.800 in my opening remarks i'm not going to use the names of individuals involved in the events i

00:08:59.260 will describe i'm not here in a vendetta my goal is to help you understand how this happened

00:09:04.940 I did provide the names to the Legislative Auditor when I was interviewed in the 2018-2019

00:09:12.180 timeframe.

00:09:13.700 You should also know that a few of the senior level DHS officials who harassed and abused

00:09:18.860 our unit for committing the sin of trying to expose a huge amount of fraud in the CCAP

00:09:25.160 program are still working at DHS today.

00:09:29.440 From 2014 to early 2017, our unit received tremendous support from the original Inspector

00:09:35.980 General and Deputy Inspector General.

00:09:39.380 These folks, along with the great staff at the DHS Child Care Licensing Unit, were the

00:09:45.400 first ones to discover very strange and unusual activity at certain Minnesota child care centers

00:09:51.960 as well as suspicious behavior by their owners.

00:09:55.440 This led them to believe that significant CCAP fraud may be taking place.

00:10:00.680 The DHS childcare licensing staff spent a great deal of time after we were hired teaching

00:10:06.560 us what would be normal activity at a childcare center and what would be abnormal or suspicious.

00:10:14.500 Just so you're aware, our investigators were all retired police officers.

00:10:18.820 They averaged 20 years of experience with extensive experience investigating everything

00:10:24.000 from fraud to narcotics trafficking to homicide.

00:10:28.960 These were veteran cops, but they knew nothing about child care centers, but the DHS licensing

00:10:33.540 folks took care of us.

00:10:35.720 From the beginning, our unit began receiving information, tips or complaints from a wide

00:10:41.660 variety of sources that we believed were likely indicators of fraud.

00:10:46.360 As an example, one day we received a call from a CCAT mother who called to complain

00:10:51.800 that her child care center owner had stopped paying her the monthly cash kickback they had

00:10:57.380 agreed upon another day a former co-owner of a center called to say that he had been cheated

00:11:04.000 out of his share of the fraud proceeds yet another day a fire department called asking if a child

00:11:10.880 care center was still operating let me just pause and i want you to think about this call center

00:11:16.440 These are people that are calling in and they're like, where's my stuff?

00:11:21.220 Where's my kickback?

00:11:23.100 Where's my cut?

00:11:24.500 This is normal business that's being described.

00:11:28.240 And this has been happening again, as he's describing it for years and years and years

00:11:31.980 and years.

00:11:32.620 And there were people that were telling them this was happening.

00:11:35.360 And what are the Democrats in Minnesota and the governor do?

00:11:38.200 They look the other way.

00:11:38.940 Why?

00:11:39.280 Because they were part of the scheme.

00:11:40.940 they were getting political kickbacks to deliberately and purposely look the other way

00:11:45.920 which is exactly why governor waltz was a no-show at the minnesota house oversight hearing on

00:11:52.140 tuesday you can say how you want to what what he said earlier which i played for you

00:11:56.720 in front uh of the of the of the you know the house senate the state house there you can like

00:12:02.740 you can say i i just passed the legislation you were involved in this corruption you weren't

00:12:10.020 ignorant of it you knew it was happening there were people telling you it was happening this

00:12:14.580 man in law enforcement was telling you it was happening and you guys did nothing to stop it 0.97

00:12:18.900 because they had been trying to conduct a fire safety inspection and had made multiple trips

00:12:25.080 there on different days at different times but there were never any children or staff at the

00:12:31.340 center i checked and found that in the last 12 months we had paid the center approximately one

00:12:36.320 million dollars and that they were billing for the care of approximately 90 children at a time

00:12:41.720 during two shifts from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. seven days a week. I wish I could tell you that these

00:12:48.580 types of incidents were rare, but they weren't. This is what our team dealt with on a weekly basis.

00:12:55.380 Once our unit received information we believed was an indicator of CCAP fraud, we would prioritize

00:13:01.460 these tips primarily based on the amount of ccap funding the center received frankly we were so

00:13:08.380 inundated with tips on centers receiving 700 000 to over a million dollars that we didn't have time

00:13:15.580 to focus on centers receiving less funding did you hear that they had so many tips so many tips

00:13:24.580 that were coming in of major massive fraud that if you were under 700 000 like yeah like we we

00:13:30.160 we can't there's nothing we can do like that i mean we're doing the best we can we don't have

00:13:35.140 enough manpower to stop this type of fraud by the way i don't know what this guy makes but let's

00:13:39.220 just say it's under 100 grand you're telling me that you can't spend 100 grand to stop millions

00:13:46.000 in fraud you understand my point here right like this is insanity and they're explaining it because

00:13:52.880 this is how bad it actually got and it had been this way for years and no one in the democratic

00:14:02.000 party did anything to stop it they said double down keep going look the other way and just give

00:14:06.800 us our kickbacks the same kickbacks they're getting the phone calls like hey where's my payment

00:14:11.120 cases were assigned to investigators who would then conduct research on the center

00:14:15.680 and owner and would then initiate physical and electronic surveillance of the center

00:14:21.780 The surveillance would determine how many adults and children entered the center

00:14:25.860 and the times that they did so. This would later be compared with building records the

00:14:30.900 center submitted for CCAP payment. If the investigation to this point indicated significant

00:14:36.500 fraud, the information was shared with the BCA agent who then continued the investigation.

00:14:42.580 If warranted, the agent would eventually obtain a search warrant for the center,

00:14:46.180 at which time computers and phones belonging to the owner and business were seized.

00:14:52.280 At the time of the search warrant, we ordered all payments to the center to be stopped.

00:14:57.300 The DHS Forensics Lab would then perform forensic examinations on the electronic devices.

00:15:04.080 These exams often resulted in us obtaining our most powerful evidence against those committing fraud.

00:15:11.260 Here are a few of the examples of the evidence I was shown over the years by lab supervisor and staff.

00:15:19.180 From an owner's cell phone, I was shown a text conversation between the owner of the center and a friend.

00:15:26.140 The friend had asked the owner, how much longer are you going to do the daycare scam?

00:15:31.720 The owner replied, another year or two, I'm going to buy some nice homes in Nairobi.

00:15:37.420 another year or two i'm going to buy some nice homes in nairobi they were clearly hoping that

00:15:45.980 kamala was going to win right because then this would still be happening right now the only reason

00:15:50.100 why these people are not getting paid right now is because we have donald trump as president of

00:15:55.200 the united states of america that is it the if if anybody else was in office we still wouldn't know

00:16:01.700 about the leering center in my opinion and even if we did they wouldn't do anything about it

00:16:05.560 like they wouldn't do anything about it this is the tip of the iceberg by the way keep listening

00:16:11.280 to what he says the owner was on public assistance at this time they happened to be on vacation in

00:16:18.440 dubai when this text conversation took place so you've got really really rich people on government

00:16:26.360 aid who are and this goes back to brook rawlings yesterday and and if you missed that go back and

00:16:32.700 listen to yesterday's show because yesterday's show we talked about some of the fraud here

00:16:37.860 of the number of people on government aid that were driving lamborghinis and ferraris and bentley's

00:16:44.060 and maseratis like this is they came in and they knew that they could commit massive fraud at a

00:16:52.360 massive level and that no one was going to stop them and they could then get government aid and

00:16:58.400 benefits as well it gets worse keep listening up to this point which was early 2017 in the roughly

00:17:06.680 two and a half years of our existence our unit had directed ccap payments to be stopped to 11

00:17:12.640 child care centers that we could prove had fraudulently billed dhs these stop payment

00:17:18.600 orders always resulted in the immediate closure of the center because the centers we investigated

00:17:24.660 never had any private paying clients only publicly funded c-cap clients okay so here's your fraud

00:17:32.320 if these are all fake centers right with with no real people that they're helping as soon as the

00:17:40.300 government dollars disappeared the centers would immediately close why because the government

00:17:45.260 dollars was the scheme and there wasn't even kids tied to the scheme that would show up and actually

00:17:50.060 do anything we also learn that right well the leering center is a great example of this many

00:17:54.640 of these centers were just that they were they were paper shops they were fictitious right it

00:17:59.420 was like it's like having a business at a p.o box it doesn't you know it doesn't exist that's why

00:18:04.560 you'd have so many of these learning centers in these areas and no kids present no playgrounds

00:18:10.860 nothing that screams kids and when you go there and try to enroll a kid they're like we don't do

00:18:15.040 that right like we're full we don't need you we don't want you like because it wasn't about the

00:18:19.300 kids it was about committing a fraud they didn't even try to like have normal kids by the way

00:18:25.820 all right like some kids in here and then have fraud running through it with like 50% missing

00:18:33.140 they didn't even try to do that folks okay like like they there was zero kids that were in there

00:18:40.100 zero that and that is the point of this fraud where you know how deliberate it actually was

00:18:45.800 Keep listening. Additionally, five cases had resulted in felony convictions for fraud-related

00:18:52.760 crimes. I regularly joined with various investigators and agents as we interviewed

00:18:58.940 the owners and employees of the child care centers being investigated. More than once,

00:19:04.780 I heard an owner or employee respond when we asked where they first learned about the daycare scam.

00:19:11.680 they would say they had first heard about it while in the refugee camp in kenya

00:19:17.080 these individuals told us hold on wait i want you to just understand they found out about the scheme

00:19:24.440 in a refugee camp in kenya that this fraud is now like that's it's worldwide fraud folks

00:19:30.440 they're like yeah yeah go to america do this you'll make a lot of money so they're in a refugee camp 0.64

00:19:35.620 they then like we got to get to america right we we got to get there as fast as we can to get our

00:19:40.120 hands on some of this money because it's a lot of money and you set it up and they'll give you food

00:19:44.500 stamps you have a better way of life and you'll get all this government aid and then you can drive

00:19:47.520 ferrari or lamborghini or bentley or maserati and defraud the u.s government and you don't care

00:19:51.620 because it's not really your government because you're from nairobi you're from kenya you care 0.79

00:19:56.980 if you're if you're if you're sucking the life out of the united states america no as long as 0.99

00:20:01.020 you're the one that is the bug that is sucking the life out of this country you're the mosquito 0.98

00:20:07.060 That they had heard you could run the scam in a number of different states, but it was easiest and you could make the most money doing it in Minnesota. 0.73

00:20:17.460 Additionally, at about this same time, the DHS investigators and BCA agents initiated an investigation of another child care center and found a high amount of billing fraud.

00:20:29.680 federal agents from the fbi the irs criminal investigation unit and agents from the u.s health

00:20:36.560 and human services office inspector general were invited to join in the investigation due to some

00:20:42.960 of the unusual activity and suspected crimes that we believe we saw this investigation resulted in

00:20:50.320 the federal indictment in 2017 of the owner of salama child care center that owner eventually

00:20:56.720 pled guilty and was sentenced in 2018 to two years in prison and was ordered to pay restitution of

00:21:03.540 over 1.4 million dollars. The Salama Child Care Center was located at 1411 Nicola Avenue in

00:21:10.960 Minneapolis. That address might ring a bell for some of you because of a YouTube video taken last

00:21:17.780 December at the Quality Leering Center which was being operated at the same address. Okay so

00:21:26.280 So what he's describing to you is multiple people that had already been brought down

00:21:32.080 who then the other people would just keep using the same address.

00:21:36.380 How hard is it to figure that out?

00:21:38.460 Now, luckily, the federal government, the feds are raiding these places.

00:21:41.920 The FBI is raiding this address. 1.00

00:21:43.860 But you notice, like, the Somalis are like, no, no, no, we just use the same thing. 1.00

00:21:47.180 Like, yeah, they got one. Who cares? We set up another one. 1.00

00:21:49.340 They're not going to shut all of them down, right?

00:21:52.380 Like, they're not going to shut every single one of them down,

00:21:54.400 so we don't have to worry about that.

00:21:56.280 we can we can just open up a quality leering center and that'll work because they're never 0.96

00:22:03.900 going to stop us they're like there's too many of us there's too many somalis here there's too 1.00

00:22:09.860 much fraud that we want to commit and so we're just going to keep our head down and rock and 1.00

00:22:15.380 roll with this thing and no one is going to stop us i'll say it again keep listening no one is

00:22:23.360 covering this and share this everywhere you can on social media. By mid 2018 our cases had generated

00:22:30.560 some publicity and the legislature then directed the office of legislative auditor to conduct a

00:22:37.120 special review of the CCAP program. In August of 2018 as I was preparing answers to questions posed

00:22:43.860 to me by the OLA in an email I was told by a DHS official to submit my answers to them instead of

00:22:51.700 sending them directly to the OLA. When I forwarded my answer regarding what fraud trends we were

00:22:58.120 seeing in CCAP, as I had been directed, I soon had a senior DHS official in my office, angry,

00:23:05.900 red-faced, and almost yelling. The senior DHS official told me to delete a number of paragraphs

00:23:11.780 of the document that I had sent. I then advised this official that I believed what they were

00:23:17.580 telling me to do was illegal. I advised them that Minnesota law requires state employees

00:23:23.640 to cooperate with the OLA and to turn over information as requested. A few days later,

00:23:29.540 the same official told me, I just came from the commissioner's office and they're sending your

00:23:34.760 document to the OLA. You better be ready for the blank storm that's coming your way.

00:23:42.120 so you're now being threatened that if you do your job and actually expose fraud that you better be

00:23:50.340 ready for what comes at you from the government you're supposed to be supposed to be telling the

00:23:55.300 fraud to so that they can do their jobs and get rid of the fraud and now you understand how many

00:24:00.840 democrats out there all right in minnesota that we're getting the kickbacks including the governor

00:24:09.040 so this was all done by design and they knew it and if you did your job as law enforcement you

00:24:18.080 were threatened good luck keeping your job because if you go there we're that somebody's

00:24:25.420 going to come for you who the political machine in the following months members of our unit were

00:24:31.300 harassed and bullied by DHS officials in the following manner. First, DHS paid $90,000 to a

00:24:39.740 consultant with no experience in public benefit program integrity or financial fraud investigations

00:24:46.820 to label the CCAP fraud allegations in my email as unreliable and unable to be proven. During an

00:24:55.460 interview with the consultants, which became heated, I told them that I really didn't care

00:25:01.500 what they put in their report, but if they said there was no fraud or that our investigators were

00:25:06.940 making this up, that when this became public, their company would lose all credibility.

00:25:12.980 I told them that the fraud was so huge that sooner or later, it would come to light.

00:25:18.320 Secondly, false derogatory information was placed on a supervisor's performance review by DHS officials.

00:25:28.500 Third, DHS implemented a continuous improvement program with the Fraud Investigation Unit.

00:25:36.540 This process started with the senior continuous improvement official berating our group for approximately 30 minutes,

00:25:45.360 telling us, in essence, we were incompetent and terrible employees.

00:25:50.680 I had never heard of something like this happening to any group of state employees

00:25:55.720 in my 40 years in state government.

00:25:59.080 A DHS assistant commissioner was in the room watching this.

00:26:03.700 Over the next approximately six months,

00:26:06.160 we were directed to attend many group meetings

00:26:09.020 to discuss the investigative process at length,

00:26:12.180 and we were giving homework assignments to work on between the meetings.

00:26:17.140 These meetings were led by the same DHS official who had berated us so badly in that first meeting.

00:26:23.880 The huge amount of time our team spent in those meetings and on our assignments

00:26:29.000 resulted in investigators and supervisors being unable to conduct hardly any investigative activity

00:26:35.900 over the roughly six months of this program.

00:26:38.740 As a result of this program, significant changes were dictated to our unit by the lead official and this process, the changes to the process included A, myself and the unit supervisor, keep in mind together between the two of us, we had 70 years of criminal investigative experience.

00:27:03.120 We would no longer have the authority to decide which cases would be investigated.

00:27:08.740 that would be done by a committee of three. Two members of the committee were DHS officials with

00:27:15.140 no experience conducting public benefit or financial fraud investigations. I would be the

00:27:21.380 third committee member, although clearly outvoted. Next, the amount of CCAP funding would not play a

00:27:28.580 role in prioritizing cases. We would spend as much time investigating centers receiving

00:27:34.820 a relatively small amount of CCAP money as those receiving much larger amounts.

00:27:40.860 The result of this meant that roughly 50% of our limited investigative capacity

00:27:45.640 would be spent on centers likely billing CCAP for less than $100,000 a year.

00:27:51.460 It would also result in our team spending 50% less investigative hours

00:27:56.600 on cases involving centers billing CCAP over a million dollars a year.

00:28:01.400 next let me just stop there and go back to what you're hearing there was so much fraud a decade

00:28:09.300 ago that this guy's saying we just couldn't go after anybody that's doing a half million or

00:28:14.180 200 000 or 300 000 150 000 a year in fraud we just didn't have the manpower we had to go after

00:28:19.460 the big fish the ones are doing millions and millions of dollars in fraud we couldn't do it

00:28:23.640 otherwise and they just didn't have what it needed now do the roi on this if you can hire a hundred

00:28:29.920 people to go after waste fraud and abuse and every one of them cost you let's just round it

00:28:33.260 a hundred thousand dollars it's 10 million that is nothing compared to what you're spending in

00:28:39.440 in in corruption and fraud payments going out the way that they're describing it right now

00:28:45.040 like they're like there's nothing that comes close and why would the state not do it because

00:28:52.420 the politicians were getting their kickback the politicians knew exactly what was happening

00:28:59.220 and they were getting their kickbacks in the form of government or i should say political donations

00:29:05.220 here's some here's some more money mr waltz the somali community is behind you governor waltz

00:29:10.820 we'd love to support you here's a check just leave our corruption and our business alone

00:29:16.160 that's what it was as he wraps us up listen the last few things he says investigators could only

00:29:21.740 contact bca agents after receiving permission from a dhs official lastly dhs officials advise

00:29:29.200 the BC agents to vacate our building. They would no longer have an office at DHS. At this point

00:29:36.320 in June of 2019, I submitted my resignation slash retirement notice effective July of 2019. I advised

00:29:45.020 the members of the Fraud Investigation Unit that I was not going to be a party to this. In closing,

00:29:50.760 I would like to make the committee aware that the CCAP Fraud Supervisor and I had each worked for

00:29:55.820 the state for 25 and 34 years respectfully, each of us in the Department of Public Safety at the

00:30:02.040 BCA and the State Patrol, where the theft or loss of even $50 would not have been tolerated.

00:30:08.180 I can't tell you how shocked we were to come to the Department of Human Services and learn after

00:30:13.500 a few years that not only was the theft of untold millions of dollars tolerated, but those who tried

00:30:19.840 to stop it would be subjected to the wrath of high-ranking department officials. Now what you

00:30:25.000 just heard was only the opening statement you didn't get to hear unfortunately we don't have

00:30:29.180 time you can look it up on the internet and you can hear the q a and and other things that he

00:30:33.760 discussed but what he laid out was two things one the waste fraud and abuse was so good that

00:30:39.360 minnesota was ground zero and the best place to make a lot of money doing this it's international

00:30:45.200 scheme and it's being told and taught and preached in the refugee camps all the way in kenya that is 0.99

00:30:54.440 insane and they did this by the way all over the country as you could hear from much of those 0.54

00:30:59.200 communications like the best place to do this was minnesota but you could go set this up anywhere

00:31:03.840 in america which means it is set up i'm sure in every single state in america i have no doubt

00:31:08.580 that this is happening right now that there is massive and extensive waste fraud and abuse

00:31:16.160 which is why i will say it again please share this wherever you can all right share it wherever you

00:31:23.500 get your wherever you can on social media help other people hear this we're going to keep exposing
